Nick would not be there on the 5th because he was still out-of-town from the holiday so I was scheduled to work with Megan. Megan started at Barwis shortly after I did and she’s been there the longest beside Dan and Deeds but I don’t talk to those guys so much. They work with athletes opposed to injury recovery clients. I’m comfortable with Megan but I rarely work with her but she gives me hugs and we would compare our socks for “Wacky Sock Wednesday.”
She started stretching me out and I asked how she is doing. Conversion flowed easily between us because I don’t really get to really talk with her for extended periods of time. It felt like to old friends catching up. I asked about the baby she works with (Emerson) and her apartment. We started doing PNFs and she was impressed. It had to have been over six months since I worked with her so the fact that she was impressed proved to me that I am progressing.
I rolled over on to my stomach and she bent my right leg and pulled my knee up away from the table. On her command, I would push my knee down and then she would pull my knee back up and we’d do it again. So,she pulled my knee up and told me to “push.” I like doing these because by now, I’m pretty good at them. When I’m told to, “push” I do it immediately and with purpose. My quads burn in like a “muscle-ache-because-I’m-using-them” type of way and I like that. So when I pushed and the movement was immediate and with purpose, Megan reacted with an immediate exclamation of, “Beautiful!” and that made me feel good!
