Hey, @Kit_L, you're very welcome. It's sure been a process. If I were to use the first post of this thread as a starting point, it's taken me about 3 years. I think, however, that I became interested in Stretch Therapy before ever joining and posting in the forums. When I decided to become more dedicated, I am not sure.
I have found the progress to be intermittent. Sometimes, I made great strides in mobility, and other times, I felt stuck in a rut and mystified as to why. Each time I had a breakthrough, it was such a revelation. It was as if I was experience certain movements for the first time.
Other significant changes have been attitude related. My RMT program has helped a lot with that, both directly by constantly reminding me how miraculous even a dysfunctional is on so many levels, and indirectly, by not giving me enough time to worry. haha
The biggest thing I have learned recently is that, if muscles are strong, tight, and yet stretching them is simply going nowhere, it might be connective tissue that deserves some attention.
