Training Log Archive: Carbons Offset

Got the MRI results already:
The ACL is completely torn. Rest of knee looks good. Low grade MCL and PCL sprain but no tear.

Went to first physio visit. Given that I already had MRI results and a strength and balance prehab program, there wasn’t much new value for the therapist to add. She assessed my flexibility, as Andy did. She verified which exercises I can or can’t do yet. I bought an electrostim unit and got a demo.

Prehab, with EMS where recommended.
Doing most exercises already at the max level of reps and durations without issue.
Calf raises: did single leg but stopped after 3 minutes whereas full reps and durations would be 5 minutes. Felt tired enough that I didn’t want to push to instability.

Glute bridges: did max for double leg. Could try single leg next time.

Squats: didn’t hit max because leg was screaming a little with EMS. Try on bosu instead next time?

Try more single leg squats next time?

Single leg balance stance was good. Try on less stable surface next.

Did some lunges on solid ground.
