You go twice a week, it is covered by insurance, if you get lucky, your spouse learns how to do it, if you get REAL lucky, like Gary, your wife is a massage therapist. But if your not that lucky, you'll walk out of the PT's office twice week, feeling like you have just been to a Spa and you didn't even have to pay for it. Find a good one and GO FOR IT.
