Completed my last PT session

Filed under Uncategorized

I completed my last PT session last Thurs. It was a momentous occasion after going every week for nearly 3-4 months. I felt an extra burst of energy during my last session and was so excited to finish up, that I brought some cookies for the PT.

I am more or less normal in using my right foot, but there’s still a psychological barrier of not wanting to push myself too much.  These were some of the accomplishments / exercises that I did:

  • Single leg lifts - my right foot can be raised as much as my other foot — ~ 3 inches
  • Total gym single leg lifts
  • Hopping on the agility ladder (see below) on the ground - I’ve been doing this for a while, it was really helpful at first, but now its mostly cardio-vascular exercise for me
  • Stair master
  • Practicing jumping 1 foot off both feet — this is the one exercise where I can still feel a noticeable difference between the 2 feet — it is a much more explosive exercise, so will require more practice
  • Hopping on 2 feet - side to side, front to back

I will be seeing my doctor this week, so hopefully, he’ll confirm that I’m OK and ready to do any exercise.   I’ve tried to still continue stretching because my right foot still feels more stiff than the other foot.

Thank you for all your support!
