physical therapy equals?

derek is my new main man.....seriously he is the engineer of medicine....(john is still my favorite).....but derek is my physical therapist...
i have my work cut out for me...i am lying on the floor on my stomach...something i have to do now each day for twenty minutes.....uhhhhhhh i'm wondering what i am doing this for but he tells me it's gonna help....then....to add to that silly request i am doing ten back bends or stretches each hour....i have to hold them for ten seconds each....then three times a day i do pelvic rotations....knee to chest lifts...and leg up in the air with my toes pointed back... ten reps of each these ........i'm thinking......i hope it works!!! and actually it is working already....(i am assured that it will hurt more before it gets better) however i have had a bit of relief already....Yeah for derek!!!!
it was interesting learning what my problems are....(i have a bulging disc on top of all the other problems)....and then learning how the spine works and how i can help with the "getting better" part!!! so ...here i go....pelvic lifts next!!!!
