Today wasโฆ profound ๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ!
You see, Iโve been keeping a secret to myself for ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฉ๐ด.
๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป.
You know the type, the kind that makes you dread getting up in the morning, or going to work, orโฆ even walking the dog.
Iโve had heel and lower leg pain for months in my right foot/leg. I tried everything I knew how to do, with minimal results. I saw other therapists, good therapists that give great bodywork, but it always came back.
I decided to go out on a limb and ask if there were any RAPID NFR therapists near me that could help because I was just beside myself. I had lost the joy of doing some of the things I love the most. Exercising, being able to keep up with my kids, and yes, walking Layla. ๐
While I havenโt been to see my Rapid NFR therapist yet, I did receive some great self care tips I can do at home to help eliminate the pain until I can see her (tomorrow! ๐)
Rapid isnโt comfortable, but it ๐๐ด oddly satisfying from what Iโve already done to help treat myself. I begrudgingly followed the directions, grimacing for the first several minutes, until I noticed that when I went back through the areas that were initially SUPER painful to touch, the gradually started hurting lessโฆโฆ and lessโฆ.. until it didnโt hurt at all.
Then I stood up for the first time in months, barefoot, and ugly cried in my studio after my shift. I was a sobbing mess, because for the first time in MONTHS I could stand โ and walk โ without pain!
I followed the directions and went on a good walk afterward, with my best buddy. The look on her face when we continued our walk where I would normally throw in the towel and tell her we were going home was โจ ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด โจ ๐ฅน we walked almost 2 miles today, twice what I would normally take her for, and I still feel ๐ฃ๐ค ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ walking or standing. ๐คฏ
I will update tomorrow after Iโve had some rest, itโs not uncommon to be sore a day or two after treatment. And Iโm SUPER excited to share how my session goes with my Rapid therapist tomorrow. โฅ๏ธ
Iโm so excited to know how to start taking my life back. One ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ก step at a time ๐ซถ๐ป
