Gyrotonics

Nanette goes to an exercise program called Gyrotonics on Thursday afternoons. She gave me a coupon for a free session, so I went with her yesterday. We went to a late lunch afterward, and then walked the meditation labyrinth at one of the local churches

Gyrotonics is supposed to be non-strenuous, and aimed at allignment and range of motion. I may have done something wrong: this morning when I got up, my left shoulderblade and hip both had muscle knots and my left kneecap hurt when I stressed it at all.

I did my PT exercises to put my hip back into the right place, and then AM Yoga. When I was doing the chakra work at the beginning of the yoga routine, my left shoulderblade adjusted with an almost audible click, and the kneecap stopped hurting.

I suspect my shoulder blade has just popped back into its normal wrong position, but I'm glad the kneecap has stopped hurting. My left hip and leg still feel a little off, but that may just be the muscles complaining about being in a different configuration than they were in overnight.

I'll need to think about whether to try gyrotonics again. It might be beneficial in the long run, but midday on a work day isn't going to cut it.

I think I might be better off finding new massage therapist (maybe one who does adhesions work). And continuing to work on the yoga. It's possible that what pulled the left shoulderblade out is the right collarbone being pinned by that band of scar tissue, so things were pivoting wrong.
