2011.08.25 My Day
Its been a busy day at work and then me flying off to see the physiotherapist. She is pleased with me and I have some more exercises to work on to try and get some more movement in my core muscles. I have to carry on with the exercises I was given which includes the aptly named "Tom Jones" which are pelvic thrusts, (if you get my drift) Knee Hugs and slouch over correct which straightens the back out to its correct position. There are also two more exercises to add to the regime. These include double bum tucks, single bum tucks just one cheek at a time (you want to try this not as easy as it sounds) and also more pelvic floor muscle work, where I have to do 5 repetitions twice a day with a minimum hold of three breath cycles. The aim of this exercise is not to be tough but to have an element of relaxation as this will make the muscles work much more efficiently. This time the exercises are on my back though - I need to work on this one as this is where I am...
