Today was another session of physical therapy. This was a bit harder, and in order for me to be positive about it, I imagined myself an Olympic athlete who is trying to come back from injury. Silly as it sounds it worked for me mentally.
Because I am working on my hips and pelvic area, I am using muscles I am not used to so I am finding it hard. Compounding the situation is my lack of range of motion for some exercises. Carrie, my PT is very good about seeing what I can and can't do. If my IT Band bothers me, she has me back off a little. The massage and ice at the end of the session really help.
Next week I am having my gait analyzed. This will really show me how I move. I have to say I am not looking forward to this, as I will be watching the video. I am usually uncomfortable seeing myself in pictures. But video??? Yikes!
Overall I did well today. I head back in the morning.
