Below are my first two weeks of training/PT. I have been going to Fitzgerald PT in Woburn to do a lot of stability, conditioning and balance exercises as prescribed by my surgeon in order to gain strength back in my knee area. I can already feel a big difference fro mmy first day of evaluations. I nanother 2 weeks I will get re-evaluated by my physical therapist to see how much more PT work I need. So far it's been a very quick turnaround and I have pretty much full range of motion. Thanks to the Alter-G available at Fitzgerald, getting back to workoutsis going in a much more controlled manner.
