Hold on to the hope.....

This morning I had the first bit of treatment on the back since I injured the back 5 weeks ago.

Now knowing what the injury is, and the extent of the injury, it is a little more logical that now I can present the this to practitioners and then they can effectively assist in the recovery of the specifics of the injury.

This morning was a trip to the physio. Talking through the injury with my physio helped in me moving forward and working with some hope. The strategies to go forward are along these lines:
  • Weekly physio treatment. This includes electrotherapy, ultrasound and light 'rotational' massage.
  • Swimming is back on the cards, but the other 2 disciplines are so forthcoming.
  • Going to focus more on the 1%ers. This includes diet/nutrition, stretching and core strength which will assist in the recovery of the injury.
  • Off to see a back/spinal specialist.
  • Start some accupuncture treatment.
  • I am also reviewing the looking at whether the back to back IM is such a good idea for 2010 and maybe better to consider for 2011. NZ IM maybe the main focus
