Physio at 9 this morning. Holly started the session with Stuart on the plinth icing his right calf while she dry needled his right gluts. The needling is done to help the muscles relax, seems odd. But it increases blood flow which causes the muscle to relax, Stuart has very tight gluts.
Stuart then did some walking with one crutch, we lost count but am thinking he did at least 8 laps of the gym before he started to fatigue. Was walking really well with his feet further apart and swinging his right foot through. He was also spasm free....was it the ice or the needles or both??
Finished off with some swiss ball catch, made more difficult by standing on a foam mattress as well as having his feet closer together.
Stuart's chair cushion arrived today, it is one inch narrower than the demo cushion he has been using. He says it feels heaps better, more comfortable and his legs do not roll outwards as much.
Tuesday 5th January 2010
Stuart returned from Sydney the 'Gong' Monday night. He had had a great weekend and really enjoyed the cricket, beaut spot to watch the action from and did they see some action with the Aussies all out for 127
Stuart was back at work today, he continues to enjoy his new position.
He had and appointment with his GP and Emma(work options) and he can now work three eight hour days each week. And will continue with his rehab physio two days.
Holly (locum physio) put Stuart through his passes on Tuesday arvo. Did some deep muscle work on his lower back and gluts.
Stuart's right knee has been sore over the last few days. He has been icing it regularly to try and keep the swelling down.
