My physical therapy sessions are my social connection. I used to stay at home and feel sorry for myself. Now I do group physical therapy with a bunch of new friends.
I used to stay at home and do exercises. Now I do physical therapy and there are always different people around who are in the same situation as me. It’s good to have camaraderie and it’s good for a social connection.
