i don't know how i'm going to go with the touch thing.
I'm mostly interested in PT because of biomechanics... Learning about how we are supposed to hold ourselves and how we are supposed to move. Exercises to improve that.
I didn't really think properly about the manual manipulation aspect... Though I think I'll come right with that.
I am absolutely loathing the thought of the massage aspect. I'm really not into it at all. I'm also absolutely loathing the fact that we have to model for each other. I'm not really down with having other people massage me. I'm much more conservative than most with how much clothing I need to feel comfortable. With my need to cover my skin.
(Mostly it is about my need to have people back off - I've learned)
The massage aspect isn't as significant for PT as most people typically think... But it is an aspect, yeah. We do athropomentry, too, and apparently skin fold assessment is a part of that. I'm really not down with that at all... Maybe I can learn to do assessment of others without cringing... I'm fairly certain that I'll need to dissociate / I'll get traumatised modelling that for others.
There is something a bit wrong with me, heh. Because others find this a little odd... But they seem to get a kick out of it, too. ANd I just don't get the kick out of it. Just feels to me like people crawling in under my skin.
I think I've got some kind of sensory processing disorder.
It isn't that I don't like touch. Under the right circumstances I love it. But I have to want it. And I have to not feel like people are crawling in under my skin. And I haven't felt that way about anyone for the longest time...
