Physio

I’ve been having weekly physio sessions for a number of weeks now and have come to the conclusion that my physiotherapist is the best thing since sliced bread.

Firstly we addressed the pain over the greater trochanter. A few exercises and stretches pretty much sorted that out in a week or two. We then focused on my walking, how it had changed and how to fix it. We’re now stretching and strengthening with a few ultrasound treatments thrown in for good measure.

I’ve been out on a few cycle rides. Fairly gentle stuff to start with and not huge distances but it’s a start. I’ve also walked to and from work (1km each way) on three consecutive days this week… maybe a fourth tomorrow. That may not sound like much, but I’ve not been able to walk so well for quite some time so for me it’s a pretty big deal.

I’m feeling great at the moment :-)
