I'm a great deal lighter today...
If you've been keeping up with my happenings, you're probably aware of the probs i've been having with my knees.
Today was my first day of Physical Therapy (I've been looking forward to this since August, lol)
Not only do I have an extremely attractive and personable trainer working with me,
She's pretty certain I don't have any surgery-potential problems in either leg.
Fortunately, insurance will cover everything over $150, so I'll be able to continue going.
She showed me several stretches and exercises that i can do on my own, so that's good.
Apparently, I have extremely strong glutes, but my hip flexors and iliotibial band are weak/tender.
When they don't do their job, the leg is allowed to rotate into positions that can compromise
the joint stability ... whew.
I love the stretches she showed me and I can't wait to workout these muscle groups ...
In other news, I've learned so much about myself in the recent months
If only you could be inside this brain of mine....
