MUA.....the key word here is “recommend”.....just say no.
You are 5 weeks out for heaven sakes and lacking 2 degrees of flexion and one for extension for the preferred ROM.
Swelling is your enemy. Swelling shall DIE!
Do EVERYTHING you can to get rid of it, and your lacking degrees will be there on Wednesday.
ROM will come when the swelling is gone. You are WonderWoman but even you can’t bend the lead pipe over your knee that is the swelling.
Get rid of the resistance on the bike....set it to zero.....it might cause some swelling.
I am going to suggest doing some massage yourself. I had the PT teach me how and used it a lot to “massage” the swelling up toward my heart between 4-6 weeks. I did it almost whenever I thought about it. I found it kind of soothing.
