[F-Diary] #43b MON 7 OCT - My 2nd Physiotherapy session

Arrived at the dot: 4pm... and ended up to be the last patient to leave, at close to 5.30pm. 

Spoke to Karen, the occupational therapist. Hm... I felt like I'm more eager to report back on what I did over the past one week, hoping to hear some affirmation of the efforts made to stretch and loosen the stiffness a bit. 

I was quite proud to show that my thumb can now touch the 4th finger, but still struggle to touch the little finger or the pinkie. Also clarified a couple of the exercises that I was a bit reserved to exert hand/ wrist.

Some angles were measured... slight improvement... strength test was the one that's not quite ideal - the grip with left hand at 10 while right hand only 2. A lot more to do.....

Learnt a series of new exercises

The survey before the therapy session... 

Here's the therapy treatments assigned for the next close to 45 min

palm up

Palm facing out... did not fare as good as the previous

The hammer stretch... that applies the physics principles of level to manage weight  by shifting the weight along the handle.

 

The last one is the playdoh - to press the various parts of the fingers against it to strengthen them with resistance.
