Tobie and I got massages last night, and it was one of those sessions where I couldn't quite do all the stretches my therapist wanted me to do with my right arm. As much as I have most of my mobility back, there are particular things that feel a bit beyond me at times. It comes and goes, and I'm sure it's affected by my other physical activities. And since this whole thing probably started because of my O Bar videography, our continued trips to O Bar mean I'm probably still adding stress, even when using a tripod. We all have our priorities.
I've been working with the same massage therapist at a nearby spa for some time now. For one reason or another, he hasn't rotated to other branches when everyone else has, and I guess that's lucky for me. The front desk staff had recommended him when I explained my situation, and he's been very careful about it ever since. As much as I've been doing my stretching activities and other exercises for my shoulder, I'd like to think working with him has also been helpful. There have been recent sessions where we've been able to do a lot of the behind-the-back stretches, but last night was not one of those times. I felt better after, so that's what's important. I just have to continue working on my shoulder to clear things fully.
I woke up pretty early today, but couldn't quite get myself to go through a yoga flow. At the very least, I managed to go through my stretching and other exercises, so that's still something. I'll try to get back to the mat tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.
What I'm still scared of doing is going back to my shoulder exercises involving weights. I did them the other week and managed to injure myself somehow, so I'm back to just bodyweight stuff. I'm being very, very careful, and I feel a tad paranoid about whether or not I'm overdoing things while in the middle of my exercises.
Getting older sucks.
