I am currently indulging in therapy,
Of the neurological physio kind,
It tightens your stomach, engages your core,
And starts to give you a pert backside.
They free your neck, your ribs, your knees,
They stretch the muscles in your thighs,
They say their aim’s to aid that ‘squeeze’,
To help you balance, to mobilise’.
“Grow tall on the left to pull the right leg through”,
So you follow their mantra and it feels good,
Then repeat and repeat so the message gets through,
So body and  mind  have both understood.
They find a buzz word that just suits you,
And this becomes a constant, repeated refrain,
Photos are taken for you to review,
To see each improvement, each muscular gain.
Targets are set, to reach and surpass,
And meeting them feels like a battle’s been won,
But if you actually better their forecast,
You feel like a hero, a true Amazon.
There is just one point that I MUST underscore,
A physio wants to achieve the best outcome for you,
So when she announces, “Just the one more!”,
It’s NEVER just one, it’s going to be three, four or two!
