Hello
@siobhan I hope you had a lovely Christmas!
I've not been great at doing pt regularly but have still improved.
You most likely will continue to improve as the BIG TIP from the Recovery Guidelines informs us -
BIG TIP: Hips actually don't need any exercise to get better. They do a pretty good job of it all on their own if given half a chance. Trouble is, people
don't give them a chance and end up with all sorts of aches and pains and sore spots. All they need is the best therapy which is walking and even then
not to excess.
In regard to your return to work - I've read here numerous times that....Once you're back, you're back. Even well intentioned work colleagues may expect you to be able to manage your normal work load because you're back, no matter what they express in advance of your return. Just something to keep in mind when contemplating your return date.
As far as the limp goes, here is a tip -
Try heel-toe walking when you're limping.
This involves striking the ground with your heel first, then rolling through your heel to your toe, and pushing out of the step with your toe.
It takes a concentrated effort, but I believe you'll notice a difference. Give it a try.
Enjoy the week. Its almost time to flip the calendar. I’ve never been as excited to say Bye-Bye to an old year and welcome a New Year! Here’s to a happy, healthy, peaceful 2021.
