New treatment I'm liking

Hello All, I just wanted to let you know about a new treatment I recently learned about and began trying. It's super relaxing and generally covered by insurance because it's done by a physical therapist. Just wanted to share in case anyone wants to check it's out. It's called AAT. http://www.wellnessandperformance.com/about.html


I thought it looked a little hokey, but it seems to be helping a lot.

Hey, if it helps and you can get it paid for.... Looks a bit odd, but then, I've done acupunture and such, so who am I to talk?

Does "Hokey" = "Simple"? Just wondering. . .

Waiting for the "Un-hokey" treatment was my excuse for avoiding therapy for allot of years. Ultimately, it was my own notions of "perfection" I gave up on.

The simplest solutions usually are the best.

Doesn't sound hokey at all. I wish I could try it, but I don't think the VA would cover it. They've only started covering acupuncture and massage therapy recently. I doubt they would approve coverage for a new form of therapy. The VA is always so skeptical of everything.

The cool thing is that this is physical therapy so it is covered by a lot of programs like Medicare. You might check with the VA and see if they cover PT. If so, they may cover AAT. The trick is finding a PT trained in AAT. And the good news is that even if they aren't, training is fairly quick and inexpensive. Just had a session today and I feel about a million times better.

Hokey means that it's a little unconventional and strange. But man, is it terrific. I'm even getting more clarity about things. And Lilly - HI! I'm always so glad to see you on here. You always have such kind words and a caring attitude. Love that about you!

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
