1 hr 30 minutes elliptical and about 25 minutes on the weights with 3 dudes. I'm being re-schooled by the meat heads :). I went to physical therapy yesterday and was examined and treated by a sports med PT. He was awesome. After evaluating me, he said that my T3 and T4 vertebrae seem to be a little crunched together, which is pinching my sciatic nerve. My glutes are tighter than normal and I seem to be having some problems in the pirformis muscle too. -like I originally thought.He also said my sacrum/pelvis seem to be kind of stuck/cocked back on my right side. So he laid me on my side and did some crunching, popping and stretching. I'm not gonna lie, I hurt BAD after he was done to the point of tears. Then I got some massage and the electrode treatments on my muscle's, as well as ultrasound heat therapy. I cried a lot for about an hour after I was done. But strangely, I feel even better this morning. He seemed very confidant in having me back running in a months time. This made my heart happy. I hope! I thought about this picture and quote yesterday as I left the PT's office. Let me know if for some reason you can't see it.
