Therapy is sooooo Hard!

Once a week I go to physical therapy with Chris Allyn Fritsch, M.Ed, ATC, PT, CCRP and Diana Huey, RVT, CCRA. It is a really intense hour where I lay on my side and sometimes they flip me over to the other side. I have to stay down while I get lots of attention and treats and occasionally take a nap. They move my leg and my head around doing these things called nerve glides and make my "nose go towards my toes". I also get cold laser therapy and then finish with this thing called a Cranio-sacral release. You can see from the pictures that it is such hard work for me......  The cool thing is that I can then lift my foot pretty good for at least 4 days afterwards so all that hard work is definitely worth it.
