  • What helps you occupy time while you do physical therapy?

    Physical therapies can occupy a large chunk of time during the day for those of us with CF. For some, reading a book is an optimal distraction to get through physical therapy while some enjoy watching television.

    What do you do to help occupy the time while you do your physical therapy?

    As a CF spouse and caregiver, I try to encourage my spouse to utilize their time during physical therapy to take care of any sit-down tasks such as medication organization, computer work, checklist management, schedule planning, etc. Physical therapy is also a great time to slow down for a bit for the day and to read or write. Hopefully, these types of tasks and activities help to keep the mind busy in both productive and positive ways.

      Preparing for the next day and reflecting on the day had, while doing the final treatment, helps for sure.
