Main Takeaways:
1. You have to learn things to be proficient at them.
2. The main resistance to doing anything is the getting started part.
3. Nerves can get compressed, pulled on, or over-sensitized at any point along their pathway.
4. The location of your tingling, prickly, numb symptoms help your PT know what to do next.
