Pass me the ice

Philippa practised a 'new technique' on me last night, and as a result I'm feeling like both my shoulders have been dislocated and then tied back into the sockets using cable ties. And when I say 'a new technique' I'm talking about physiotherapy, you dirty dolts, so stop imagining whatever you were imagining.
Apparently, it's good for people with problematic joints (like what my shoulder is sometimes) but I'm not sure 'good' is the word I would use to describe the after-effects. My left shoulder currently feels like it's been replaced by a tennis ball that's full of cement and surrounded by barbed wire, and that side of my neck is so tender I can't really move my head comfortably. I remember her saying at some point that the shoulder is a weird joint because the bone at the top of your arm has a head that doesn't actually properly fit the socket it's sitting in, so it's a really bad design. Not sure whether you blame God, Nature or Evolution for that one, but all I know is that yesterday I was going about my work with no issues, and now after an evening session with My Beloved I feel like 30% of my body is at no.8 on The Pain Scale and climbing rapidly.
