No running. Rode bike to gym in morning and did 25 minutes on elliptical; also stretch some stretching, core strength, and light lifting. My back is just killing me today. It tend to go through cycles, so hopefully this is just a trough. I went to my PT today, and my joint and muscle flexibility is generally good, although need improvement in some areas. I got some ultrasound at the end too. I think the PT has done about all he can do with me and has taught me a lot of good exercises, stretches, and habits, so it will definitely be beneficial in the long run as long as I keep up on it. However, I feel that I need something "more" to compliment the PT. I've seen a chiropractor before, and it really helped short-term, but I was turned off about having to go back all the time. But maybe since my core strength and flexibility has improved, it may be worth revisiting. Something else that intrigues me is massage therapy. I've never tried it, but some people swear by it. At this point I'm open-minded to about anything. I have an appointment set up through my PT for tomorrow with an IHC massage therapist, which my insurance will cover. I'm not looking forward to the pain of deep massage, but I'm eager to see if there's any results. Ailment ratings: SI joint: 5 -- quite painful as the day went on lower back: 3 -- bad knee: 8.5 -- no pain, but still needs strength plantar fasciitis: 7 -- not much change over weekend, maybe slight improvement; it's been pretty stable and I don't have much limp |
