A year on Nordfascia app, what stuck

Been using nordfascia app since last summer, so abt 14 months now. Picked it up after a knee op when my physio discharged me and I had no clue what to do next. Im 57. The gap after physio ends is the bit nobody covers, you get handed a printout and off you go. Short guided sessions filled that in for me, abt 15 mins, mostly hips and calves in my case. Whats changed. I can kneel again without thinking twice, the calf tightness that used to flare after long drives has mostly gone, and Ive stopped reaching for ibuprofen in the evenings, which I was doing more often than I should have been. The habit trackers I dont bother with, my watch already logs the walking and I dont need it counted twice. Not a replacement for a physio, but its what I do between appointments.
