Who would have thought I’d be happy to pay money in order to experience pain? I must be a masochist. All joking aside, I can highly recomend Hands On Care for your shoulder, elbow and hand therapy. Saba Kamal is an exceptionally talented therapist. After my nasty moutain bike accident, she had me back in the saddle again within a few short weeks. This was all the more remarkable considering I had virtually zero motion in my elbow and wrist three weeks ago. She’ll bend parts of your body into positions that will make a grown man cry… but thankfully she does know when to stop. Her little evil grins while telling you to “relax” always had me cracking up in laughter. When it comes to physio, she was the best of both worlds… approachable but firm.

It depressed the heck out of me.

But Saba was my therapist, and because she was my therapist, what I thought was impossible actually happened. I got back the use of my hand. (more…)
