"Two years ago in March,I fell and as a result,I had a lateral tear in my right meniscus.Following surgery at Golden Ridge Orthopedic hospital,I received (the absolute minimum allowed by "managed care") physical therapy.Noticing the progress,the PT recommended continued therapy,suggesting I seek a trainer at the Y.She knew of the training required for such a position and also that supervised exercise would be of great benefit for me.You see,I also have MS,a condition in remission,but not one I wish to have flared,so I have always been active.
By the grace of God,the trainer to whom I was "assigned" was Debra.She not only dirrected my physical therapy to new strengths,she introduced me to her concept of OxyFlex! Incorporating controlled breathing with the physical therapy exercise brought almost instant results,so of course I was encouraged to continue both the technique and the exercise.
I have continued to follow the 15 minute daily routine,she taught me,several times a week.
