My Personal Experience with Physical Vascular Therapy
Last year, I had an accident that completely shattered my ankle. Two major surgeries were required, followed by months of physiotherapy. During this time, I was confined to a wheelchair, which opened my eyes to the daily challenges faced by people with mobility issues. This is a topic I plan to explore in a future blog post.
As an able-bodied person, it was enlightening to witness the struggles of navigating life in a wheelchair. It made me more aware of the need for greater societal understanding and support for individuals with additional needs. But for now, let’s return to the topic of Physical Vascular Therapy and its impact on my recovery.
During my recovery, I dealt with significant pain and inflammation, often disrupting my sleep. Traditional pain management methods, including medication, were not always effective. I discovered Physical Vascular Therapy at the cancer support centre where I work. We had the therapy on trial, and I decided to try it myself.
After just one session, I noticed some relief and a better night’s sleep. Initially, I was sceptical, wondering if the improvement was merely a placebo effect. However, after borrowing a therapy mattress, the benefits became undeniable.
After a few nights using the therapy mattress, inflammation in my ankle decreased, and the pain that used to shoot up my leg during the night subsided. My sleep quality improved drastically, and I no longer experienced disturbed sleep. I used the mattress for 5 weeks, regaining more flexibility and movement in my ankle. The sensation of internal healing was palpable, as if things were knitting together inside.
I used the therapy for 20-40 minutes in the morning and an hour in the evening. Additional benefits included:
- Increased energy
- No headaches
- Reduced anxiety
- Overall peaceful feeling in my body
- Improved sleep
Unfortunately, after returning the mattress, my symptoms returned within two weeks, including disrupted sleep and lower energy levels.
