Following the second hydro appointment, and knowing I have bursitis, I’ve had to scale back the psoas stretch move, and focus solely on Hydro. I still do some yoga, but I’m completely avoiding certain moves, and poses that make it hurt. I have no desire to keep flaring this up. And rest is the biggest healer.

Of course at the weekend I just had to sneeze, and it pulled my hip so violently!! But not the psoas for which I’m grateful for, but the outer hip bursa area. Massive ouchies and a lot of sailor swear words, and deep breaths. Nothing I can do but rest on Saturday, far too painful to move.

By Sunday I felt much better, I was still resting Monday when I pulled it again accidentally in bed, by merely moving a bit wrong!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Seriously how am I ever going to rest and recover? If a small movement re-pulls it?

Tuesday was a full on dental day and that hopefully was the last for a few months now. So a pretty restful day overall. But I still managed to tear it.

Massage gun on bursa Video you can click on. I watched this so Wednesday I decided to tackle it with the massage gun, to see if this will help.

Got to the Pool, feeling good. I spoke to the Physiotherapist about the pains and limitations I’ve had this week, and we opted to keep the movements a bit smaller, more controlled, see if that helps especially the Hip Abduction ones. Three sessions left after this one, half way through already 😭

* Small Squats X 15 reps

* Hip Abduction standing with resistant ring X 15 reps

Increased the exercises a little, so I fully expect to be fast asleep later. Here I am, shattered and like a potato with no jewellery, and pool hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And I did in fact sleep a lot in the afternoon, most of it in fact 🤣🤣🤣 crazy how much it wears you out!!
