Wow, I’d forgotten that body parts, other than knees, could hurt. It’s been awhile.
I’m back at personal training and I’m walking lots, and I’m riding my bike outside. Everything is going well except in my newfound pain free state, I discovered that I’m now strong enough and mobile enough to hurt other parts of my body. Lol.
Last week, I rode my bike and went to physio and then personal training and then hopped on a plane. So, there was lots of physical work and then sitting. I flew to an event, the Canadian High School Ethics Bowl, and there was more sitting. By the end of it all, my back was pretty stiff and painful.
Luckily, I have regularly scheduled physio appointments, so after Monday back at work where I rediscovered my standing desk, Estee helped me out my back to rights. More stretching! Yay!
It’s not serious and I’m not stressed. But it was a bit of a reminder that as my knees get better, I might have to pay attention to other body parts too. Mostly for my back, it means stretching and moving between sitting and standing and getting some walks in during the day. All good.
Oh, also, my mother and I often joke that we have all the same injuries and issues. This week she also hurt her back gardening. So we’re stretching together. Happy Mothers Day!
