Go Go Go
Pretty busy day! Work, Physical Therapy, Cook Dinner, Swim Classes!
Physical Therapy was pretty good, lots of range of motion checks, stretching instructions, massage. He wants me to stretch a lot more than the Doctor was instructing me to do, so I’ll do that. Also gave me this band that I put around my ankles, squat and shuffle back and forth which should build up the muscles on the outside of my upper legs.
Twice a week PT for the next two weeks, then once a week for two weeks. He’d like me to follow up with my Doctor after these two weeks, and then get a run in of a couple of miles and see how the knee responds after a run.
He did stress that when I start running again he wants me to treat it like I’m new, IE long runs of 2-3 miles and build from there, don’t just get going again with a 5-6 mile long run and build. Start the base over.
He again mentioned how tight I am, and said over and over again “Man, you are really really tight!”. So uh, yeah I must not flexible at all. Excuse me while I go stretch again.
Hopefully swimming tomorrow night!

I’m glad to hear this. It’s progress to know how to strengthen and stretch so you can get active again. :)
