I’ve been diligently working away with my physiotherapy exercises and happy with my progress onto the Green Resistance Band. And we went walking too, which while worth, did give me 2 solid days of not moving at all after it, and a week of increased pain.

Silver lining of that is I saw my micats physiotherapist day 3 of recovering from walk Monday, so she could see the very real affects it has on me.

Plus I could tell her the progress I’ve made with exercises, and to discuss what happened at my Consultant appointment a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps I’m hoping she can help lift my spirits and hopes?!

We discussed everything and came to the conclusion that perhaps sticking to the green band for another month, doing the same exercises, and maybe increase reps if possible, to get me ready for weight bearing next month, in the form of squats and lunges.

Quad Isolation Green Band Both Sides currently 10 reps X 3 move to 15 reps X 3

Hip Bridges Green Band Both Sides was 10, move to 15 reps X 3

Clams Green Band Both Sides was 10, move to 15 reps X 3

Tilted Side Leg Raises Green Band Both Sides was 10, move to 15 reps X 3

I’ve got my homework to dig in deep, and build up this strength and stamina.
