Best medical appointment ever!

[Yesletsgo]

Went to the physio this morning. Usually any medical appointment involves being told to lose weight, take more exercise and eat less. Instead, I get told to buy new trainers every three months and start running. Woo hoo! Doesn't get much better than this (though I think if I hadn't told him that this was the best appointment ever he may have suggested I lose a bit of weight, instead he said I should strengthen my muscles, works for me )

A dream appointment! And of course you’ve got to follow such professional advice…. to the letter 🙂

Usually I struggle....😂

Not this time 🙂

I’ve had two of those NHS Well Man appointments before - are they ongoing, I wonder? Every two or three years, maybe. The last one took place before I did C25k - I can’t wait to tell ‘em! 😎

I’m here waiting for Amazon to drop off a set of those “resistance bands”. It’s shocking how much muscle declines in older age. My legs are looking better through running but my top half looks like I got it from a different catalogue of styles, like legs by Georgio Armani, top by TK Maxx. I hope there’s a set of instructions.

Now that's an appointment worth keeping! 👍🏻😁

Love a good physio and lovely he made you feel good!!

Brilliant, if expensive, advice. Now if the health service were to prescribe trainers that may save the, a fortune on medication 🤔. Happy running 🤗

I reckon that as it was an NHS physio appointment so I didn't have to pay I can mentally knock forty quid off the cost of the trainers! Gait analysis tomorrow, I'm sure I'll post a pic of my new shoes on here as is traditional

Brilliant bit of rationalising

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Did I ever tell you I was a genius???😂😂😂

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

I can see a new post coming up - best excuse for buying new trainers 😂

[Petem56 Graduate10]

Do you get them on prescription!

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Petem56]

I wish!

[Ritmo]

Every three months! Blimey.

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Ritmo]

I was a bit surprised by that too, maybe he overestimated my keenness 😂

[Hidden]

Hooray - a free ticket to buy new running trainers on medical advice - perfect! 😂

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Doesn’t get much better does it? 😂
