Physiotherapy For Rigid Spine Syndrome

I dont have rigid spine disease but an undiagnosed form of MD.

From what my physio has told me it is person specific there is some things they will do with all types of MD but the actual programme will be concentrated on your specific problems. I know on my bad days when exercise is too much I get massage from physio as it helps my pain and loosens me up. I was surprised they knew some of my problems without me mentioning them – I had a sore bits from walking awkwardly.

Good luck with your physio I hope it gives you some help.

Best wishes

Lers,

I maybe second guessing here. Also it has been a decade since I was physio assessed, so forgive the faults of my aged grey matter.

I would imagine the MD Physio in London will spend time talking to you, getting to gauge what your strong areas are and the weaker ones that need help. While I imagine there will be some physiotherapy in action as you are not going to be regularly attending that clinic, it is likely to be more of a “show and tell”, sort of do this, like this, and I want you to do that x number of times.

When I came back from my physio I made myself a detailed sheet of the exercises, it helped me to remember everything. I also printed off a copy and gave a copy to the physios to put in my file [you never see the same person twice], that way we were all singing from the same hymn sheet.
