OH I see now.....

I had my first physical therapy session today.  It was an evaulation and oh my gosh did I learn a bunch!  I'm excited about what I learn and now I can understand a few things better and I have hope in some good changes and things to come from it.

The main thing that got me in the door for physical therapy was the pain and discomfort in my lower back/right flank area.  My goal is not that have that going on anymore but in the process disovered another area that needs work and has to do with the problem area in my back.

My back is trying to do more than it needs to do because other areas are pitching in and doing their job.  My stomach, my incision area inside has built up lots of scar tissue.  The muscles then get pulled down and cause strain in other areas.  My right side of my pelvis has rotated too far forward which would cause a constant irritation in my back because its trying to do all the work.  Basically my stomach muscles have forgotten what their role is and once we reprogram them and re-teach them then the back pain will go away and I won't look prego! Yep I said it!  After things start going back in place where they belong I my body will appear alittle different especially in the tummy area!  I'm all for that!  I know that won't solve it all and nor will I have a completly flat stomach but......it will look as if I lost some and that right there is enough for me and can help rev up the motiation and hope in losing weight and feeling better and won't get that look of are you preganant or not!

My stomach muscles are shot and my back is over compensatating for it and so we have to start with my stomach area first in order to do the other things that will help my back and rotate my pelivs back inline.
I have things I need to stay on tope of at home and do in between physcial therarpy sessions, so it depends on me and I think I'm up for it and ready to look a little better but mostly feel better and not have the constant nagging pain!
