Oh @Tigger from Alabama that's so not good but so easy to do. Luckily you are in the right profession to get the best outcome.
PS Why is it that when I try to @Tigger you it tells me you are from the States when I know you are from Australia?
It would seem I have a 'follower' copycat~PS Why is it that when I try to @Tigger you it tells me you are from the States when I know you are from Australia?
Seriously? I thought you were a physiotherapist. My memory is crap.
I am also in an alternate universe here. I am Tigger from Sydney, WAS an interior designer and now a writer!
Thankyou for that advice. I will do that, as my balance is crap normally anyway so needs improvement.Seriously? I thought you were a physiotherapist. My memory is crap.But I did remember you were Australian.
Can I tell you the best exercise for a damaged ankle once it has sufficiently healed is to stand on that leg. Standing on one leg will strengthen your ankle and teach it to heal with muscles and tendones and ligaments in the correct position. Or at least that's what my osteopath told me after I broke my ankle last Christmas time.
What a sadist!All sounds like you know what you are doing and you are healing well. Next level of advice from my osteo is, when you get to the stage when you can stand easily on one leg then roll up a towel and stand on it on one leg.
Nah done that on both wrists. Broken arms don't stop walking. In my experience ankles are heaps harder to heal. I'm still working on the one I broke the week before last Christmas even though I've done an 800 km camino frances in the mean time.What a sadist!
Broken arm anyone?
That is so cool!Nah done that on both wrists. Broken arms don't stop walking. In my experience ankles are heaps harder to heal. I'm still working on the one I broke the week before last Christmas even though I've done an 800 km camino frances in the mean time.
Tks for the advice. I might try that out as an excercise for my hips as well. Picked up a crack in my left knee on the Portuguese last month after giving it a twisting wrench. Might help with that too.Standing on one leg will strengthen your ankle and teach it to heal with muscles and tendones and ligaments in the correct position.

Having claimed no physiotherapy knowledge, I am now proceeding to give you some advice. In prep for my first Camino I went to my physio, uninjured 'as a precaution'. ( A step I recommend to everyone over 40 ) I had a 'dickie knee' and a 'dodgy hip' though unaffecting me at that time. After a full assessment my physio prescribed a series of 5 exercises THAT I ACTUALLY DID FOR SIX WEEKS! The one for the hips was 'clam shells'Tks for the advice. I might try that out as an excercise for my hips as well. Picked up a crack in my left knee on the Portuguese last month after giving it a twisting wrench. Might help with that too.

ANOTHER sadist, laughing at the non-bounce of a poor Tigger!I have no pacer pole interest. Bypassed post for a bit. Then, methinks Tigger started thread wonder if I'll have a laugh. And, laugh I did.
Only, Tigger can walk a camino sans injury, then need poles for twisted body parts at home.
No buen camino for you T.
