Myositis
by Brenda
(Queensland,Australia)
Dear Sarah,
Do you have any physical therapy advice for the condition Polymyositis, where muscle is slowly degenerating throughout the body? This is currently resulting in limitation of overall movement, lumbering gait, cramping of leg muscles, and also I think the very slow post-op healing of a meniscal knee injury after arthroscopy.
(Male patient aged 67, previously sporty and active!)
Thank you,
Brenda
