Had my video visit with PT and it went much better than I'd thought it could. She watched my movement, etc. and gave me a new set of exercises. She was amazed I hadn't gotten and standing exercises on discharge from the hospital or at least at first post-op. She didn't look very pleased that the surgeon had said "just walk" because she pointed out that the longer I walked with a cane the more that movement would become part of muscle memory and harder to overcome, even when I COULD put full wt. on that leg.
I can already feel results of just the clamshell and bridging exercises she recommended. The correct muscles show fatigue after exercising. I have follow-up video visits weekly for a month and then will see if I need to be seen in person. (I have had other PT with this therapist in the past and she is very good.)
