Alright so I had another session with Dr. Rawlin today. Told him that I had attempted to run yesterday after a 2 week break of no exercise, and my knee flared up immediately!! This has been the low of all lows for me. Rehabbed for 2 weeks, iced, rolled, did everything possible and only 4 minutes of running I am back to square one. So anyway he did some tests and the muscles around my ITB weren't the weakest muscles. He found that my Glutius Maximus was very week and wasn't even firing. So this could be the cause of my ITB problem. He said with that consistent forward motion and with the gluteus maximus not firing. The muscles around my knee are working way to hard to keep my stride in balance. So long story short he activated both of my glutes, and told me to go run today because he wanted to hear how this would've effected me. He also said that his goal is to get me running completely free of any injuries by April 1st! Again I attempted to run today and actually got in 31 minutes of running! Big achievement from yesterday. My knee was tweaking a little bit, but not that bad. Then headed to the pool and did 1600 meters in the water. Knee is a little sore after the workouts, but I also wonder if that was from the damage that I did yesterday? Well going to ice and roll today and take some Anti-inflammatories and pray that tomorrow morning I wont be sore around my knee and attempt another 4 miles tomorrow. That would be a huge achievement. |
