Yesterday was the 8 week mark. I had PT and the therapist said my flexibility and range of motion are great. They are are where he wanted them. He said you have approx 14 weeks before scar tissue prevents additional flexibility. He said that the aggressive stretching I have been doing has paid off and that if I did nothing else and waited till I got back into karate in about another 8 wks I would have the same flexibility as before.
The therapist gave me more advanced level exercises. I did many band walks squats, balance exercises, lunges etc... Very sore today though.
Last weekend I had my son and a few kids out for baseball practice and actually ended up playing a game with them.... i was able to rotate my hips aggressively while up to bat and run (w/ a limp) around the bases. I still have somewhat of a limp but the therapist said it will go away with strength and even strength in both legs. The unstable moments and random pains are just about gone :)
