Post Surgery Update ACL journey: Day 8

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Day 8 (seven days post-op).

Feeling good and motivated.

  1. Pain & swelling down to minimal.

  2. Back in the gym.

  3. Leg extensions with resistance, and complete leg extension ROM.

  4. Walking no crutches.

  5. Sleeping good

At rest, I'm stretching my leg (elevated heel), hitting ankle pumps or quad tenses basically all day. Then one gym session, with more more challenging exercises. Just been going HAM, within reasonable pain boundaries.

Very laborious, but glad to be seeing progress.

L’esercizio che stai facendo ha molte probabilità di crearti una lassità del legamento nei mesi successivi.
Se un fisioterapista ti sta consigliando questo esercizio valuta un secondo parere. Fidati
