Wednesday was, although I didn’t know it at the time, the worst physio session I have had. A super-hot day and my physio didn’t want to work us too hard so we had just over an hour and a quarter of stretching. Looking back I think I would rather have tried an hour on the […]

Yesterday was physio day and I was hoping for no pain and a good session. Before I tell you how the session went let me just elaborate a little on the conversation I had with Lynne (my prosthetist) the day before. She mentioned that I have a very prominent tendon in the groin, again just […]
