I have gone to physical therapy 3 times now and it's really changing my perspective on it. I thought it was going to be EASY.
Yeah, no.
Okay, so the first couple of sessions are SOMEWHAT easy. Now that I've gone a few times, it's getting harder.
My first time going, I thought it was sort of easy, all I was able to do was bend to my side.
My fourth time going: Now I am doing all kinds of pelvic tilts, with bent knees, with straight legs, lifting my legs and knees, some work on my hips with a theraband...
Now it's feeling more and more like a real actual workout. I get tired from doing my therapy now, haha. The goal right now with all these exercises is to strengthen my core and get me walking longer. I have been able to walk in 15 minute bursts and that hasn't improved yet. After 15 minutes, my foot on my left side starts numbing a little, meaning time to stop.
While it sounds great that I am getting better, (he even said my herniation is starting to reset itself and heal) I asked about returning to my old workouts- I am still very much NOT clear to do anything except walk and my therapy right now. Bummer.
Oh well, backs take a lot of patience. I just have to keep up my diet and therapy as told.
