Quest: Get an alternative therapy treatment such as acupuncture and see if it’s as bad as you feared.

Being someone who doesn’t like needles (mind you, who does like needles?) I’ve never had acupuncture before. So when I went to the physiotherapist and he asked if he could jab me with some needles to release pressure in my shoulder I decided that would be my cool thing of the day.

I didn’t find it painful, just a bit strange. As he put the needles in my shoulder the muscle would give a little jump as if it was popping. Not sure if it’ll produce results but according to the physiotherapist it can reduce the time it takes to restore proper rotational flexibility to my shoulder by two-thirds.
