therapy kicking butt

[peter lena 9,075]

 the hip therapy , has been very effective , spot on  for foundational  function . tracking , therapists are very  sharp on any issue , and regularly , get you on an eyes closed , balance / muscle  function , balance bar set up, guaranteed  to expose more . they  also liked my nap after  any related walking movement , response . usually walk a  vacant parking lot , that makes for a safe place to walk , when I started doing that , my almost immediate  feeling was sleep ,  so thats a regular  thing for me , nap is a knock out , body response is telling you that , also  doing a lot of stair climbing , told me I was weeks ahead of  regular ,  work , staying at it , pete

Good job Pete. It's amazing what these PT's can do.

My brother broke his hip one year ago today. He had it repaired. Did limited PT. He's still limping and has pain. My next door neighbor had her hip replaced less than 6 moths ago, did the PT as directed, and you would never know it. No pain, no limp.

@rmaynard  that limited PT  was a DO NOT DO THAT , joint   speciality  hospital I went to , was verified at every stage , they want you to do well and  totally recover ,  the x rays done before  surgery , are fed into the lazer  function body mount , that actually guides the dr at every stage / step . I walk every day , and also do the cellar stairs every day , its all just coming together,  BTW , my lower spine fusion  , is spot on and you can barely see  the smooth  scar , suchers , desolve , 4 glue down lazer  points are , gone . actually surprised that the hospital involved with your brother , did not have a dr talk with him , or was brushed off , its too easy today to help yourself , thanks for the shout , pete

@rmaynard   went to a pre op surgery  technician led informational stage 3 week prior to surgery , about 35 people in the class , all going to have , hip, knee, shoulder , spine operations coming up ,  hefty information  pack , walked thru , all stages , questions , answers . thought the info was very good thorough , emphasized  any question  concerning you , there was a # to call , or  contact . another part of it was the emphasis  of thorough therapy , just the idea of not  doing what you are saposed to do , to settle in  and correctly move  initial  joint  placement , is asking for  trouble .  and then of course blaming the dr  for your problems . it takes personal  interest / effort , say mine was about 2 weeks , of  related discomfort  , then started getting , signs of relief , been on that  mindset  ever since .  also helped that my wife told me , she would kick my ass , if I didn't  follow thru   !  imagine that , pete

 @953 nut   hiding in plane sight help , another variation  added was a regular , wal mart  , carriage  parking lot walk around . park my car way out there , near a  sitting cart , practice the CLOSE TO PUSH BAR STANCE . arms NEVER EXTENDED , that holds you vertically , you can feel the  solid pelvic  assist , THATS WHAT YOU WANT , did a lot of that , lets you comfortably step / feel what's comfortable for you , set up a number of  assist opportunities in everything I regularly did , did not take long to realise  / sense / feel the positive results . also taught me how to enter / sit in a car , virtually eliminating the  angular leg / angle swing . basically  entering the car back / bottom first , the instant bottom support , takes the hip joint , out of the picture , feel sense / adjust  to the gain . mind set WAS NOT SEEING /  sensing THAT,  practice / repeat  your  gains , thats a great gain for you  mentally / physically . if you think  playing hard ass / macho is going to pull you thru , YOU ARE WRONG . now I regularly sense / use all my  changes , pete
