1. Medical Stuff:

• Two sessions of PT. Started a few new strengthening exercises for my glutes and hip. We are realizing that if we release (through OMT) my hip flexor area, glute, and tightness down my leg, my hip feels better.
• Two days of Home Rehab. Interval run/walks. Three rounds of 10 different strengthening exercises. I will find my abs again. I will.
• Week 3 of the Postpartum challenge. Down 7 pounds.
• Why I go to Dr. Rosen regularly:

1. Medical Stuff:

• Three PT’s: Elliptical, bike, scap strengthening, core strengthening, heat, stim, OMT, and dry needling. STILL hip pain. Gah. I’m thinking I need to tackle the core more so that’s the goal for the next appointment.
• Home Rehab: Walks outside at an incline. Weights and squats. Core and scaps. Light Stretching!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Because of all of my sciatic pain, I will now be going twice a week. Fun, fun…as long as it helps.
• 3 Home Rehab workouts. I got mad at my body so I pushed it hard. Makes sense, huh? Sometimes, I’m not the smartest but I wanted to show myself I could still work out hard. The struggle is real.
• 1 Shrink appointment.
• I made a prolo appointment. Time can go a little faster. I’m so ready.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Two PT sessions. I feel like I am finally getting stronger and my lower back in general is feeling better. Just need to tackle my left sciatica and SI joint and I’ll be like brand new ; )
• Two Home Rehabs. Light walking and strengthening. Lots of foam rolling.
• Two Shrink appointments. I am back to weekly for the time being. It’s a good thing.
• I had my first infusion since pre-pregnancy days. My POTS came back with a vengeance a couple of weeks ago which has forced me to put my health in the forefront.
• One primary care appointment.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Two sessions of PT. Still trying to get my lower back stronger and the pain under control. Labor did a number.
• Lots of walking in the neighborhood with my home-dawggggg, Gru Gru. I keep trying to add more strengthening and stretching at home but I have not been super successful. It’s a new week!
