- highflyer has completed the grueling 26.2 ATR miles to full recovery!
Having waited the 3 weeks for referral to PT, I had my first session at the brand new rehabilitation centre at my local hospital (QA, Portsmouth, UK) on Monday. I was greeted by my Physio (Diane) who proceeded to carry out an assessment of my range of movement and physical capability and then prescribed some home exercises to be carried out twice daily. Then I was shown to the fully equipped Gym to have a twice weekly programme drawn up consisting of static bike riding, rowing and various balance board exercises. They expect that I will be going to the gym for about the next 2 months, with PT assessments every 2 weeks.
I am now cleared to swing a golf club again at the Driving Range and to cycle again (in low gear and not uphill). Driving can start again as soon as I am confident I can perform an emergency stop safely, however I think that’s still a way off (right leg ATR and manual transmission).
After just 2 days of home exercises & massage I have noticed significant improvement in the range of dorsiflexion (upward movement of foot) allowing me to press my knee against the wall when my toes are also against the wall, also improvements in swelling of the foot and reduced limping.
Tomorrow I go for my first proper Gym session, I can’t wait!
All the best to everybody out there coming back from AT injury. Life does get better again.

Indeed it does. I didnt think I could drive but then I took my Dad’s car into a unused car park and tried an emergency stop and all was fine. Why don’t you try it you might be surprised?
I started my PT last week and the amount of difference in 1 week is astonishing. The tendon is strengthening and lengthening well so my limp is fast disappearing altogether! The strength isnt there but that is what takes the time. I am off the gym daily now and loving it. It DOES get better!
All the best
Your flexibility is improving well if you can touch your knee to the wall like that.
You may want to try going to the pool: heel raises are so much easier if you are in chest deep water, you will feel like you can hop around! Which is quite a joy after such a long time. Also walking in the chest deep water gives a pleasant workout to the calves.
