Rehab after injury?

[danica]

I was wondering what you ladies did after an injury to get ready for skiing again? Did you pay for physical therapy? Come up with your own plan? Just wing it?

I’ve had Lyme disease for 10 years which I finally just got treated. I did some pretty intensive immune therapy which left me near bedridden for 5 months. I’m up walking around now and even cruised around the block on my longboard today but now I’m completely exhausted. Have any of you had your muscles completely atrophy before? How did you start recovery?

I knew two older men that had Lymes. One was bedridden for like a year and was contemplating suicide. He couldn't even change the tv channel on the remote without severe pain. Im not sure how he started his physical therapy but willpower was definitely a leading motivator. Last I saw him he was rebuilding his house and for his at home therapy he did a bunch of stretches. He still got tired quicker than the average person but made quite a comeback from the long process

I hurt my knee dancing literally 2 weeks ago and my local resort opens in less than a week. I'm thinking about just going to Yoga classes to start with, lots of my physical therapy exercises were the same as yoga. Also google knee injury stage x physical therapy. I honestly don't think it's worth the money but the tough part about doing it on your own is discipline. Perhaps do it with a buddy or put it up on your calendar.

Luckily mine never got that bad. That's heartbreaking. I just had regions of my body go numb or be painful almost like mild MS or ALS and I had some cognitive issues. I'm trying to commit to a workout routine just starting super slow and working my way up.

That's such a bummer. I'm thinking about yoga, I'm getting cleared by my doc in a week or two and he said I could start slow. I've had way too much time on my hands and I've been reading a lot of mindset books. I feel like my motivation is all there now haha
