Accelerated PN , possibly from PT?

For me, I learned that overuse during PT (or any other activity) contributes to fatigue and that my PN requires me extra time to recover. My therapist agreed that we needed to work on eliminating the “day after” effect if PT, as it should be more seamless while helping us build strength and brain/muscle memory. She would modify the activities or reps to help my PN. Open communication is key - we start each session with reviewing how I felt after the prior session. One thing that does not work for me under any terms are exercises that stress my toes. I can stand on heels, but trying to be a ballerina on toes or pushing weights with them leave extra painful and numbing effects for many days, so we’ve had to come up with a different way of helping engage that part of the foot. We’re all different, but if you find that an activity or exercise leaves you worse off vs better, please let your therapist know as there may be a more suitable exercise.
