Let's hope that helps, I don't like anyone messing with my bones or joints & certainly not my muscles! I avoid physio at all costs I know enough exercises to help my shoulders & arms!
Makes perfect sense, Kay - the usual manual techniques of physiotherapy etc are to be avoided with PMR/GCA. Gentle massage, heat treatment, ultrasound etc should suffice, plus a therapist who understands PMR. I do hope things return to normal soon.
