I am a musician, guitarist, and in my zeal to become a better guitarist, I started practicing longer and with more intensity. And unbeknownst to me, I fell into the well-know trap of repetitive motion issues suffered by so many musicians. I have worked with other physical therapists, and they helped, but never really eliminated my pain. And then I was introduced to Sean McComiskey by a musician friend. It turns out Sean is also a musician, and he understands those repetitive motion issues that haunt musicians.
After meeting Sean, he described to me the physiology of muscles and tendons, to the extent a lay person such as me could understand. And he told me about my trigger points that stubbornly wouldn't go away. For my initial appointment, my right shoulder hurt a lot, and my left shoulder ached a bit. And I asked him to treat my right shoulder. A vigorous massaging of all those trigger points he found over several appointments, and weeks later, my right shoulder no longer hurt! Like magic! Whoa!
So a couple months later, my left shoulder still ached. So I called him up, and a couple of appointments later, I feel great. When I went to the pool yesterday, I finished my 45 minuter swim, and I realized I didn't think of my left shoulder once, no pain, no discomfort. He cured me. He [censored] cured me! Thank you Sean! You'll be my physical therapist forever! read more
