Hi Joalti-12, welcome to the forum, I am sure there are many ways that you can get involved in taking part in some sports activities and exercise. Yoga comes to mind, you could phone up your local gym and tell them about your situation. 😊

Can you mobilize, maybe it would suit you .... slow walk followed by a little bit faster for the intervals maybe

I think this is definitely a question you need to put to your physio.

I don’t know... I do know there are plenty of people with even severe disabilities that can find ways to keep fit and even compete in sports. Maybe your local council website has links to some local groups doing sports that you may enjoy?
