My physio appointment

[Instructor57]

So I had my physio appointment at 5:30 today .

He is a multi marathon runner !

I was in with him for around an hour .

He is happy that my injury was not too serious and also that it is almost better,

He dosent think there is any specific muscle problem, or at least not anymore!

He says the timescale from when it happened until now is consistent with how I'm feeling now .

I'm just a little weak around the area now on the left hand side .

He gave me a really thorough hands on examination and strength tests

He is happy with my range of movements and my general strength and he has given me some excersises to do to improve my control and ballence.

He is more than happy for me to continue running as I am .

He may not even want to see me again but asked me to call him in 3 or 4 weeks .

Happy days 😬

That’s such good news, you must be so relieved! Good to have it confirmed that it’s not serious! 😀👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Yes it is !

It has been getting better daily but it's been so slow , but to get the thumbs up from someone like him is reassuring 🙂

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

You were lucky with your choice of physiotherapist! 👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

I know , I could have talked to him for hours , really nice guy 😁

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Fantastic news!😁

I think you are lucky to have found somebody who knows what they are doing 😁 and who knows about running

My experience of physio's isn't that great tbh

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Absolutely, it couldn't have been better, very knowledgeable guy

[Gannet1 Graduate]

Aw, great news it went so well Instructor57! 😊 So glad you got the all clear to continue running as you are too. 🤸‍♂️🙌 Happy days and happy running! 😊🏃‍♀️☀️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Gannet1]

Yes thank you , it's been a tough few weeks but getting better now by the day 😁👍

[PlymBorn]

That is excellent news Ian ! Am so glad it’s officially not serious ... the steps you took to slow down and cease for a bit were spot on ... now get going for that 10k 😂😀😂🏃🏻‍♂️👍

But seriously glad you have had the advice and confirmation.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to PlymBorn]

Don't you worry , the 10 k is part of future plans , but not for some time . 😁

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Nice one, Ian.

Just enjoy those nice gentle runs for now.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thank you

True consolidation for a while !

Great news, I am so pleased for you Instructor 57...you’ve obviously taken care of yourself when you needed to.

Yes, you’ve got a really good Osteopath there...

Well done and hopefully lots more running 🏃

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

He is a sport's physio, I ditched the osteopath 😂

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Sorry must have missed that my memory isn’t great!

Your sport’s physio sounds just the man !👨

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes, he couldn't be better .

I saw an osteopath twice originally as the sports physio hadn't started working again at the time and I felt I needed some treatment.

But now he's working I have switched to him , especially good as he is a runner !

[limberlou Graduate]

Brilliant!! It’s so much better when they understand isn’t it? My GP is a runner too and very supportive with my hip issues. She referred me quickly and has been great from day one

Good luck with your physio 🤞💪

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to limberlou]

Thank you !

And yes, he was brilliant , such a knowledgeable guy

[wobbles_when_runs Graduate]

All sounds positive. Well done for looking after yourself too and not pushing a bad situation. Your recovery time has been shorter than it could have been because you’ve rested when you didn’t want to. Great news

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to wobbles_when_runs]

Thank you !

Yes, I think your right .

I definitely needed those 16 days off .

I think it would have been so much worse if I'd just tried to continue to Graduate at that time

[SJ60]

Great news! I’m so pleased for you 👍🙌 happy running 😃

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to SJ60]

Thank you ! 😬

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

ThAts fab news Ian - you must be really chuffed hearing that- really pleased for you 👏👏

[EThomas Graduate]

That's great news. Good luck with your future runs.

Hopefully gizmo has done a runner.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to EThomas]

Thank you !

Gizmo appeared to get the message when I graduated 😂

[PhoenixRise Graduate]

Amazing news! How perfect/lucky to get a physio with multi marathon running experience! It really does make a difference when a physio has specific experience of your needs - few and far between!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to PhoenixRise]

Yes, I just checked his FB page and his profile picture is him running the Great wall of China marathon ! 😳

[PhoenixRise Graduate]

Woah! Amazing!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to PhoenixRise]

He apparently goes all around the world doing crazy marathons 😂
