Dawn,
I have been having therapy now for about 4 weeks
with some success so far. My therapist does
specialize in this field? What she is attempting
to do is stretch the adhesions so that they do not
pull on other organs as much. There are different
exercises that I have to do at home along with
certain breathing techniques. She works especially
on my incision area (even though that is not even
where my pain is). To be perfectly honest I have
already noticed a signaficant difference. Yes,
I do still have pain on occaison, but I also
have a partial bowel obstruction. She is not
sure if the therapy will help that, but considering
how I am feeling alot less pain and can even
eat a little more than before, I think that if
you have a chance to have therapy you should.
By the way insurance does pay for it, at least
mine does. Good luck and God Bless you with
success.
Becky
