Had my first session with a physical therapist today. She never met anyone with an absence of distal right clavicle.
She noted that my whole right side is smaller and sort of lopsided. I guess I'm genetically challenged.
She checked my range of motion.
She suggested no gym for a month - Acceptable given the fact that I can not walk more than 20 paces without extreme lower back pain. (The benefit of an ill conceived unbalanced workout routine)
I have to stretch everyday:
With a towel behind my back pull up on stretch the other arm, pull down, etc.... 15 sec x 5 - this one hurts.
Put my arms on the bed and knell on the floor bringing the body down, stretching the shoulders.
Using a towel over a door use and alternating motion to pull the arm up and stretch.
One exercise to strengthen the upper back area:
Loop a theraband on a banister and then pull back squeezing the shoulder blades together, hold for 5 sec repeat for ten reps, 2 sets.
We will see what happens. I'm going to continue this everyday and add ab work, grip work, and maybe a some bike riding if it does not aggravate my back.
