10-17 to 10-30

It has been over 2 weeks and since I've had 2 more sessions.  In this time frame, I realized similar reactions from my body that I experienced in the beginning.  Not so much the mood swings, more of the physical changes and aches.  Prior to my second session on 10-21, I noticed I had tender spots on the left side of my head, surrounding my ear.  I'm sure its from the pressure being used.  Later after this session, my left knee began to make clicking and cracking noises that I never had before.  It wasn't something that hurt, however it felt uncomfortable.

Later after explaining this to Anthony on my next appointment on 10-27, he worked around my knee with pressure on the muscles.  It seems that now I don't have the discomfort in my left knee any more. I do continue to have ankle discomfort after being inactive for some time.  I have tried to ice the area but it doesn't seem to work.  Overall I feel great, my back pain has been gone since my first session and hasn't come back.  Everything else seems to come and go minimally.

It has been two days since my session and of course the two day rule applies.  I feel very sore in my upper back, around my shoulder area.  Also, my legs feel as if I've run none stop for miles.  However, I still feel great.  I feel more vivacious. At times I felt that I was always tired and drained with the pain in my back.  Happy to say that this therapy and research has dispraise that. 

SHOW TIME

Today I experienced a deep tissue massage for my therapy session.  At the beginning, Anthony (therapist) had to realign some areas, but it wasn't any major adjustments.  He proceeded with the deep tissue massage, working more on my left leg.  He also worked in the abdominal area as well as my back. After my session, I was cleared to dance.  Through out the day, as I stretched and rehearsed for the show I had that evening, I noticed that my back pain had diminished.  I also realized that my flexibility was far more than what I had before... it seems that I have the same stretch on both sides and able to do equal movement on each side of my body.

My body feels amazing.  I feel like brand new.  the balance in my body has definitely improved.  I haven't taken any of my technique classes yet, but for the  time being I do see and feel the difference in my body and very impressed in what this research is doing for me and my career.

10-13-10

For the past week, I've noticed many changes occur in my mind and body.  Not sure if its because I know that I am going through this therapy or maybe its because my body is actually going through changes.  I recently realized that I have a tender spot on the left side of my head, near my ear.  It feels as if i have a bruise in that area, but I don't.   My balance seems to be on point. I find myself standing up steadily on two feet, not leaning more on one side than the other. Today I am due for my deep tissue message and will find out if my alignment is still in place, and if I can dance going froward.

10-12-10

I have a few days left until I can actually MOVE!  The only difference that I've noticed lately is the pain in my ankles but I feel more energized.  I am really curious to know how my flexibililty and my dancing is going to improve with the new alignment.  Two more days in counting!

10-11-10

For the past few days, I forgot to mention, after any meal I felt extremely tired and had moments in where I would doze off.  I am happy to say that is now gone.  I also have no pain in my back and my teeth are back to normal.  I do have slight pain in my ankles.  Can't wait until I get my message this week, in which they will be working with deep muscles. 

10-10-10

I feel pain in the same areas, my knees, ankles and tension in my shoulders and upper back.  I also realized that my teeth hurt and are very sensitive.  Not to many mood swings today or  yesterday.

10-09-10

I woke up today feeling great.  I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary but the usual feeling of my bones adjusting.  Not sure if they are adjusting because of lack of dancing or if they are still aligning from the session on Thursday.  I look forward to the next therapy session. 

second day on the S.E.T

Today has marked my has marked 24 hours since I got the first therapy session done.  I woke up with less pain in my back and feet, however I noticed that I am unable to point my toes to the full distance I had before.  The pain in my upper back and tension in my shoulders began to reappear throughout the day.  I also noticed that I feel more of my Sit Bones.

Emotions ran high today.  I identified myself somewhat similar to a pregnant women with mood swings and pain in random places.  I still get slight headaches but it expires after a few minutes.  Nothing new has arose.

First session aftermath

Thursday was my first experience with the S.E.T. session.  After Ballet I, I joined Anthony for the first session for my structural work.  It was a bit uncomfortable but the outcome was very noticeable.  After Anthony completed the work on my body, I instantly felt the sense of elongation in my spine and my neck.  I was slightly dizzy but it went away quickly.

Later through out the day, I began to feel spasms in my legs and my arms while I sat down at work.  I also got slight headaches, but they did not last long.  Later that evening, I began to feel nauseous and impatient very quickly with things.  I would lose my train of thought about things I was speaking of and I also felt discomfort in my ankles, knees and back. Lets hope that all these side effects go away fast.
