At 8 Weeks P.O., the passive & active knee flexion I’ve been doing at PT (bending the knee to bring heel to bum) has been painful, but I’ve seen progress in my mobility & strength, and don’t get so sore afterwards anymore. I’m even able to do a few minutes – reeeeally slowly – on a bike. But when Melissa introduced standing hip extension this morning, my hamstrings basically said, “What you talkin bout, Willis?!” My brain said go, but the hams did not. I just stood there…wishing…my leg would move. I switched legs and did a few extensions with the good leg to notice what was firing where, before switching back and trying again. And then the leg moved. A little. But, woah, Nellie, there is some work to be done.
P.S. I’m not using the cable in that second picture, but I do put on pants for PT.
