Mind Body Connection

Physical Therapist: Okay, now try to do it without tilting your pelvis.

Me: What?

Physical Therapist: See how you’re tilting your pelvis, when you lift your leg like that?

Me:……..

Physical Therapist: Watch me do it. See how I’m tilting my pelvis?

Me:…..Yes?

Physical Therapist: Okay, so that’s what you’re doing. So try not to do that.

Me:………..

Physical Therapist: Does that not make sense?

Me:…….I actually wasn’t fully aware that I had a pelvis. Or a body.

Physical Therapist: ….Hmmm.

Me: Yeah, I kind of just feel like I’m a liquid vat of worry and thought that is somehow able to open doors and move from one room into the other.

Physical Therapist: Yeah, hmm. Maybe we should back up?

Me:….Yes.

Physical Therapist: Okay, so. You have a body.

Me: ….Interesting…

Physical Therapist: You live inside of it.

Me: ….Go on…..

Physical Therapist: You can control it, you can injure it, it can heal, there are both good ways and bad ways to use it.

Me: WHAT

PHYSICAL THERAPIST: I KNOW
