Physical Therapy - Photos from December sometime

The day I brought the camera was the day that Justin wasn't there. Oops! Jacob really enjoys joking around with him. Justin met Jacob his first day at Team Physical Therapy. He kept him entertained while he does his exercises.

I was already going here twice a week for my plantar fasciitis. It has saved us several hours per week in additional appointments for us to do our therapy together.


Upon arrival, Jacob gets HEAT. He warms up his hands for 10 minutes. Then he works with his Therabar. He bends it and shakes it and twists it. Other hand exercises are gripping, rolling a wooden bar along velcro, or twisting/rolling a weight around a bar.



Then he goes to the arm bike. On this particular day, Jacob came in disguise. Most folks come in the gym shorts. Jacob comes with a mustache mask or light saber, etc.


Jacob does a series of stretching and balancing exercises.


AND lots of bouncing.


His Physical Therapist, Denise, is always real patient when Jake tries to squirm out of the stretches or tries to negotiate fewer reps of the strengthening exercises.



Jacob always gets his own locker and returns to it regularly to stow his clay or therabar. He sometimes sneaks to the front desk to get mini chocolate bars to keep him going.

We have a hard time doing his exercises at home. His leg muscles are so tight and need to be stretched more regularly.
