Thu, 10/26 UPDATE:
Saw my PT today, love that chick. "Look who it is!" she says. Anyway, she ran the typical strength and flexibility tests. She said she was surprised at my strength, would have though I was gonna come in weaker. Very happy about that. My flexibility is generally good, although we had a good laugh at how ridiculously tight my left hammy is. We also got a good laugh at how all my strength was above average except my friggin toe extensions! lol
So, here's what she told me:
- We're meeting 2x/wk for the next 4 weeks
- I should continue with the stretching and core work I have been doing, but focus more on flexion movements (like bending backwards, for example) and always end with these movements
- continue with the treadmill, no incline. may move to eliptical in a few weeks to get the extended ROM going in the trunk/core area
- keep working that goddamn left hammy
- I CAN START TRAINING A LITTLE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- start doing some leg press (both legs for now, one-leg presses in a few weeks)
- no leg extensions (boo fuggin hoo)
- some upper body stuff
- she is determined to get me squatting again, but is adamantly against DLs
- no hyperextensions or anything of the sort just yet
That's about it. I am still a bit concerned about the muscle spasms I am still having in the left glute, but she said she'll focus on that next time I come in and figure it out.
Now, I am travelling to Cali on Sun, then straight to ATL on Tues til Fri night. So, I will do a little training tomorrow and Sat, then continue with the walking/stretching/core work while on the road. Then when I get back it's fucking GO TIME
