PT session was Tuesday. Since I'm able to do short distances in a full run without pain or significant discomfort, we decided to start including some light jogging into the daily exercises. The program for this week is once a day, ten intervals of light jogging with normal walking in between; start with around ten meters for each interval, increase by feel. Other than that, he corrected my stretching technique to target rectus femoris muscles more, and introduced a quad stretch to add to the daily routine. He also gave me a new exercise for the gym, a composite squat plus shoulder press with dumbbells.
Since the exercises are getting harder, the muscles are needing more recovery now. I will be going to the gym three times a week to do exercises on the elliptical trainer, stationary bike, squats (two days normal barbell squats, one day the dumbbell shoulder press combination) and bridges on the exercise ball. In between I'll be doing the balance board and leg abduction exercises. Only stretches and jogging will be done daily.
