Regular physical therapy compared to Project Walk therapy
Many of you have asked why I just don't do 'regular' or normal physical therapy, which my insurance would probably pay for. Indeed they do; I have had many, many sessions of what is oddly termed 'physical therapy'. It truly is a misnomer, for there's nothing physical about it. What 'physical therapy' does is try to get you comfortable with the fact that you're probably going to be 'in' a wheelchair for the rest of your life. The focus of Project Walk is hugely different than regular 'physical therapy'. Project Walk focuses on building up your body physicality and stamina so that you actually can walk again. I haven't experienced a workout like those I've had thus far at Project Walk since I used to run; they actually get me out of breath! The workouts are not easy; Jay said he got tired just watching!
