I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! This week at good ol' physical therapy I was allowed to progress in my workout. Oh joy. I am so excited. At least the entire PT crew were wearing Christmas PJ's which lent the atmosphere a festive glow. Unfortunately the first few weeks of physical therapy can be a little boring and monotonous. However, anything and everything you do in recovery is important from the food and supplements you take in to the exercises you perform. Here is the breakdown:
- Heel slides done with a belt (timed for 3 min)
- Straight leg heel stretch done with belt (timed for 3 min)
- Heel stretch done with knee bent (timed for 3 min)
- Straight leg raises with 1lb. weight (30 reps) both legs
- Calf raises (30 reps)
- Standing hamstring curl (30 reps)
- Bike slowly (10 min)
The above mentioned exercises are done 3 times a week with ice and E-stem being applied for 15 minutes after the workout. As the weeks go by I will keep an updated log with pictures of what i am doing in the gym.
