I have a new personal trainer--AND a new exercise method. There's a Gyrotonics studio next door to my acupuncturist. It's similar to Pilates in their use of pulley-style machines and I've been wanting to try it. Both my acupuncturist, who has taken their classes, and Erik, my therapist, approve. I had my first session yesterday. I felt better after just one session. Of course, much remains to be seen, but I feel optimistic. I woke up today quite sore, though. Arnica took care of a lot of that. I explained to the trainer yesterday what a basket case my back is and emphasized the need to take this SLOOOW. She likes challenges, so that's good!
