Posture Restoration
Dolly's WOW moment post reminded me to share a story with you guys....
A few months ago I was experiencing a lot of new aches and pains all over my body that I couldn't explain and then my jaw started to hurt really bad to the point I'd wake up and not be able to move my mouth. I thought I had TMJ so my dentist and my doctor both referred me to a physical therapist. The PT figured out that since I lost all my weight that my body didn't know how to carry itself anymore so my posture was all out of wack from my hips all the way to my jaw. I've been learning how to carry myself correctly through Posture Restoration its really helped reduce the aches and pains I've felt and get in touch with my new body.
If anyone else wants more info I've been going to the Edina Pain clinic they have one of the few PT who specialize in Posture Restoration. You can also look up Posture Restoration on the web it gives some info out there.

Start 323 ~ Current 199 ~
I'll have to look into the Edina Pain Clinic.
I went to PT for over 2 months for low back pain, which I'm told my left hip goes out of wack as does my pelvis due to the ligaments that holds everything in place are lax now that there isn't as much weight sitting above them. It's very frustrating not to have the pain gone. They keep telling me as I strengthen my core, I things will stay where they should and I'll feel better.
Glad you're feeling better.
