Thank you for your response, it's much appreciated, I'm thirsty for any information.
I have no doctor's approval, in fact I won't have any contact with a physio or doctor for the next four weeks and I doubt that they will know proper kettlebell technique or its benefits for my reovery, but I will ask. I am aware that I must be patient and careful about progression, but it helps to have a general picture about the future of the therapy, or things that must be avoided, for instance. Reading your experienced kettlebell-specific responses are priceless for me!!!
I have a list of exercises to do and the main thing I am working on at the moment is straightening the knee joint, and maintaining my quad, or rather reawakening it as it seems to be slowly disappearing along with my calf muscle. Many things have been and still are a mystery about this recovery and I really have to do my own research as I am completely left on my own for the first five weeks. For example I am not sure whether it is better to leave my brace straight for five weeks, or is it beneficial for my knee to have some movement while I am walking. I read that the acl needs some loading to heal properly, it is a mystery for me what that means and how that looks in a timeframe.. Things like this, so many questions, and there is no physio at the moment or doctor to answer them as they pop up. What I want to say is, that I feel that it's no wonder that acls don't heal properly when there is no proper information or emphasis on therapy.
I take collagen and joint supplement, vitamins, also I did go into the surgery quite strong, I was training bjj, martial arts, yoga full time, and I want to get back to it by the end of this year
.
Getting creative about the therapy is what keeps me going, so that it doesn't only feel as recovery, for example I can already do some yoga positions, so in fact I can keep learning yoga at the same time. Otherwise only doing the list of physio exercises can be a bit of a drag...
THANK YOU
