Los Angeles, CA

Female, 31

I'm a practicing PT with a Doctorate for the past 4 years now. Although it may not seem like a long time, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in various PT settings. I've worked anywhere from outpatient therapy, home health, aquatic therapy, inpatient rehab, and private clients. I now also instruct on an online prep course for graduates seeking to pass their National Board Examination. PT is a very rewarding job, but can also SUCK, which explains my quest to find the ideal situation

I had a hernia repair surgery with mesh. Surgery cut me right down the middle weakening my abdominal muscles. I'm definitely overweight and now have another hernia above repair. Can an EMS strengthen my abs I don't care about weight just strength.
