So you can see a more scientifically medical written version of how I described what I was going through xD
To be honest, I thought physical therapy was going to be useless since I was already doing my own kind of physical therapy. However I have never experienced any severe kind of injuries nor healing from them, much less surgery and actual rehabilitation to a first hand degree... so I was still kind of scared of doing certain movements and applying certain kinds of force, and hearing/feeling certain things go down in my ankle! Hahaha.
Which made the physical therapy GREAT for helping me feel safe and more reassured with everything I was doing and feeling! :)
They measured my ankle, its mobility, and strength, then massaged it, stretched it and moved it around, and gave me a bunch of exercises and ideas for exercises to do!
THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE EVER BEING ACTUALLY GENUINELY EXCITED AND MOTIVATED TO HAVE AND DO HOMEWORK!!! <3 BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE AND IS TRULY IMPORTANT TO ME!
The second day it was already WAY more mobile and stronger!!
He started off with a massage, and the more I relaxed, the more it would move, popping, releasing built up tension from not having moved it in so long, it popped twice and created so much release allowing more blood flow and feeling SO GOOD!!!
Then I did some movement exercises before heading over to the easy stationary bike, where I pretty much used my right calf muscle for the first since the surgery! Though the whole biking movement in general was great for my whole leg! :)
Then I did a slight weight bearing mobility exercise, and finished it off with some icing to cool down since my ankle and leg hadn't been use to so much working out in a while, hahaha.

Now we're off to the beach as a family! This will be my first outing that isn't to the Green Wave Raw Restaurant, or the hospital/physical therapy places! Haha, so excited to be back in nature finally! <3
