Today I had the 6 months (approx) appointment with both OS and sports doc. They concluded that everything was excellent and that I was no longer required to do formal PT (of course, will continue to do on my own a number of exercises such as pliometrics, proprioception etc in order to strenghen the posterior chain and all stabilization muscle in the ankle. Next meeting with OS is in 6 months for a routine check.
The journey is obviously not over. For some reason, I have the 12 months mark in my mind and in the meantime I will continue on the same path, i.e. very cautious and listen to my body much more than I used to do prior injury. I have to continue to avoid for a while to run on steep slopes and should refrain, again for a few months from now, explosive type of activities such as squash (both according to OS).
Next deadline is Geneva’s triathlon early July! Looking forward to it!
I want to thank this amazing community! The journey was mostly a smooth ride for me but this community has certainly been amazing and truly helpful all along the way. It was great to exchange with all of you, read all those success stories and share with others that were in similar timlines than mine. I am really thankful to all of you.
Good luck everyone!
