Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Just that really...because it's very easy not to do them and then get unjustifiably annoyed when body parts don't recover.

So...I have done my physio exercises. I did:
2 x 13 of hamstring extensions on the swiss ball (both legs on the ball)
12 x 13 airplanes on the bad leg (unweighted)

I am now tracing the alphabet with my left ankle :)

Well done :-)
I know how hard it is to do (and keep doing) physio exercises!

Another day and I have done my physio exercises!

15 x hamstrings extension on swiss ball
10 x unweighted airplanes (leg quite tired and wobbly today- hopefully a good sign)

May do some calf raises later.

2 x 13 unweighted airplanes
3 x 13 calf raises

I may even do them again later (they don't elicit pain so no harm really)

Nobody else doing physio exercises? :D

I will do my physio exercises tonight

They will be

Tightrope walking forwards and backwards,
Stand on one leg, repeat on other leg.
Spikey ball for 1 min bottom each foot.
Sitting on floor, straight legs, make fist with toes for 10-15 seconds x 5, paddle feet.
Band on both feet, toes up, stretch band, hold 15-20 secs, repeat 4/5 times.
Band on feet, standing up, march 30sec each leg x 2

Skipping 1 min, bounce from one leg to other, like running.

Good job Ultracat, what are you rehabbing?

Mine is an old hamstring injury which has left residual issues in the whole of that leg.

I have a range of resistance band exercises to strengthen my peroneal tendon. It was an injury that seemed to have gone away so I'm reaching back into a programme given to me by a physio 18 months ago.

I'll do them as I work this afternoon.

Hello! I've just had a video physio session and have some new strength exercises to do - working on key leg muscle groups such as glutes, hips and hamstrings. I've got a knee issue which will never go away so I'm working hard to strengthen the surrounding muscles to reduce pressure on the knee so I can continue to run!

I'll report back this evening when I've done them. Be good to compare notes on here and help each other, plus have some accountability

I am strengthening my feet and trying to improve balance to stop stumbling when running.
