My PT appt went well. My stretching has helped, Deb says. I get to add in some cable external rotations.

I asked about my foot, which led to a discussion about how virtually every part of me needs to be stretched, as my calves are tight (but not super tight). But, my hamstrings are tight, which leads to my calves, then the plantar fascia, which is what hurts. So, I will now be stretching virtually everything, it seems. The whole PT group got to pipe in on my issues ("look how his pelvis rotates when he tries to stretch his calves. His hamstrings are too tight!" It was like that movie where all the scientists are crowded around that caveman that they found in that ice block. And poking him.)

She checked out the scaps and traps and said all was good. Everything firing properly AND I have a super strong back. She said "wow." So, yay for me!

Of course, she also says I'm weak toward the end points where the rc range of motion is concerned, but stronger than two weeks ago. She says I won't get stronger until I'm able to get there, period. duh. More stretching.

She was impressed with my dorsiflexion. woo hoo!
