Day 27. PT Redux

I went in for my 4th and final PT session today. I've been going once a week just to sort of keep tabs on how I'm doing, but now that I've joined a gym it feels like a waste of time. Especially considering each PT visit is $250 ($50 after Insurance) and a the gym is $25 per month. The choice was easy.

I did find out that all leg presses are not created equal. The PT one must have different 'gearing' because I did: 100x10,100x15,115x15,130x15 and they felt much much more difficult than the 130 at the gym. I didn't do legs tonight but I'm going to guess that the 130 was closer to a 150 or 160 at the gym.

Then some leg curls, where I definitely am lacking a bit. I still can't do much and less than 50% of my left knee.

Then on the calf raise shuttle I maxed it out at 7 bands. And then finished up with 10 lb leg extension with the knee bent over something.

Official measurements for the day: 145 right vs 150 left. I also wasn't given any warmup just went into the flexion.

Some Lachman and other tests concluded what will be my last PT session.

I then had a follow up doctors visit at which point he just looked at it and said 'looks fine'. I'm sure that one was in the $300 range. 10 minutes too.
