Success with the chair exercises, so I’m glad I found them. Though my activity energy level is nowhere near prior to this thumb surgery (done on 26th march) so much reduced reps and having to do alternate days too. Daft YouTube video of mine

Using my Aerobic Step I can still incorporate my Psoas exercises that are standing ones.
* Hip Flexion standing 10x reps both sides
* Hip Abduction standing 10x reps both sides
* Hip Extension backwards standing 10x reps both sides
* Small Squats 10x reps
* Forward Step ups onto Aerobic step 20x reps both sides
* Lateral Step ups onto Aerobic step 20x reps both sides
Lunges (using a chair for stability) 10x reps both sides

I’ve had to reduce the reps as I found I was getting super exhausted, and it then increased pain levels in the thumb.
I’ve started some upper body exercises now I cant do my usual yoga sessions. As I’m getting extremely stiff in the casted arm,shoulder and neck.
* Shoulder Extension 10x reps both sides
* Bicep Curl 10x reps both sides
* Tricep Overhead 10x reps both sides
* Lateral Shoulder Rise 10x reps both sides
