i was cupped at physio today

Today i went to physio about my painful back muscles  and the young man was really kind , he got straight into it,   gave me a gown to get into and left me some privacy, he didn't however tell me which way the opening goes, so i took my top off, left my bra on ( wasn't sure if i was meant to take that off too lol) in hindsight now i think it would have been better having it off, um not having it off in a biblical mummy loves daddy way, i mean taking my bra off,, oh , you know what i mean anyway. he got me to do a few bends to test my restrictions, and got me on my tummy on the table,  i felt him pushing down hard around my spine, and then touching my back muscles in turn to figure out my painful areas,  then i  noticed some gel on me and he massaged around a bit, i was then sucked to within an inch of my life by a cupping machine, on my middle back it was fine, but it hurt quite a bit on my upper back. he sat me up and felt around my back again, then got me to put my hands behind my head, and he stood behind me , putting a towel in my back , he wrapped his arms around my arms and said to breathe in and relax and he gave my back a stretch, i said , this looks like a familiar position i have seen in a book lol, I'm hoping now that it was in fact a towel in my back.

I was asked to lay face down again, and he massaged  me alot more, saying to me that he noticed I'm very stiff on my left side, i was thinking, well son its probably that way because i have my arm and legs squeezed in as close to my side as i could, the young fellas, crotch kept nudging its way up and down my side as he massaged and prodded and i was  getting a little concerned that i was diddling his nads if i moved, lol maybe i should have just gone, diddle diddle,  and it would have made him more aware of where he rests it during therapies.
i was walked through some exercises that will help stretch my back again,  a few of them a little bit, hellooooo, so i will be doing those in private, i was also a little concerned with the one where i have to put my head between my crossed arms as i am stretching my back holding a railing, it was beginning to feel like i was going to be decapitated by my breasts. i will do these exercises twice a day to help my back.  and keep up the hot water bottle,
I asked him when i can fully train again and he said, lower half till Friday and then i should be ok to get into heavier training again... I'm hoping so ,  as i feel like i have stumbled on the last hurdle towards the finishing line.

I am signing up for round 2 so i am not going to panic about things at the moment, i just want to get that 10kg loss before end of round.. so its head down bum up..

below is a photo of my back strapping, it looks like I'm wearing a lady sanitary item stuck to my back..
i can remove it in 72 hours. or if it is causing me pain before that its coming off..... I'm hoping i don't have back hair  that i was not aware of, because this will hurt like a biatch to rip off.


 Another thing that made me chuckle was when the young man was doing the upper back he had to unclip my bra.... the one im wearing in the pic,  as he was fumbling around i said to him, im guessing you are either single or your girlfriend only wears tiny bras with one clip on them cause you are not having much success  . hahahah he laughed at that and concentrated really hard to get it back up faster when he was finished.  I really am naughty sometimes. It was mums fault as she was there too and things are always a little on the crazy side when us two get together.

Im off for a shower now and some loving time with my man.  take care and i will blog my weigh in tomorrow. i am expecting a gain this week, its is said when you have injury you can hold a little weight .... lets hope not.

  1. Hi Gayle,
    I just had to let you know reading about the physio really made my night. I had a similar experience once when I had a sore neck and the male physio had me lying face up while he stood at the head of the bed and massaged my neck, except I felt like every time he moves it the crown of my head rubbed on his goolies.. very hard not to laugh and try and relax when this is happening! Thanks for your blog. I read the whole thing the other night. I have just signed up for round 2 as well so am looking forward to seeing the new you emerge! Go girl! x Lucy

    1. hi Lucy, lol i can totally relate to that. its terribly hard to not feel rather awkward after that happens, i go home thinking, "did i just inadvertantly cheat on damo?" lol im glad you signed for round 2 , im going to be working it harder this round than first round.
