A stimulating day

In physical therapy today I got hooked up to an electrical stimulation cycle for the first time. It's a stationary bicycle that my feet get strapped into, and electrodes attach to my legs. The bike starts out doing the pedaling itself, but after a couple of minutes the electrodes start to work and my legs take over. There are a few benefits to doing this; it tones the muscles and helps prevent atrophy, it gives a cardio workout, and it can help improve circulation and reduce spasms. It was really odd to see my legs work - and to break out in a bit of a sweat - when I wasn't doing or feeling much of anything. It certainly did seem to help with the spasms for the rest of the day, and that alone makes it worth doing regularly.
