Touchstone Therapy and Wellness

I've been meaning to give a big thank you to my wonderful physical therapist, Kelly Sykes, and all of the people at Touchstone Therapy and Wellness in Columbia, MD for all the of the support throughout this recovery process.  It has been a long road and a lot of hard work and with physical therapy 3 times a week its all starting to come together.  Today I will be running for the first time since I injured my hip last year and this time next week I will be taking my "graduation" test as required by Dr. Petre.  I still can't believe that I have been pain free for two months and I am starting to workout again.  In the beginning I thought I would never feel "normal" again and I can't believe the progress that I have made.   Touchstone Therapy has been a crucial part of this recovery and was a great place to go even if it did mean working my butt off.  After seeing how much Kelly has helped me through my recovery, my mom is now going to Kelly as well for her lower back pain.  I am very thankful for all of the support and motivation that Kelly and all of his staff have provided me during the past 3 months.  I will be posting a few pictures of my exercises that I have been doing over the past few weeks.  I hope these will give an idea of the type of exercises that are included in the last part of physical therapy.
