  • Post Surgery Week 7

    Added exercise bands for resistance to moving squats and standing 4-way leg lifts.  The inner thigh and forward leg lifts are the hardest for me at the moment using the non-surgical leg because the standing leg's stability is being challenged.  Was directed to do these and any other weighted exercises every other day.

    Added one more set of squats to the bosu/balance pad.

    Added leg press at 80 lb. 

    Added bouncing a ball against the wall for balancing 5 x 1 min each leg.  Not shabby. 

    Added planks.  Not ok'd to do side planks yet.

    Really working the internal and external rotation of the hip.  It's not as far along as the therapist would like. 

    Continue walking 10 min on treadmill as often as possible and work on form. 

    Work on figure 4 stretch modified against a wall
