PT schedule - 6 weeks post op
Hi all - My doctor said I would start physical therapy after my 6 week appt. I’m in a boot and will be neutral without wedges at 6 weeks. I’m still only partial weight bearing and attempting to walk with two crutches only.
My question is what was your physical therapy schedule once you started PT after surgery? Are there any tips to how you scheduled your PT? I’m also going to be returning to work to my desk job on a partial schedule, so trying to determine how many hours I need to set aside for PT so I can make a return to work plan.
My main priority is being able to focus on recovery and getting back to 100%. I want to heal properly so that I can be an active parent to my young kids as soon as possible.
Also, how did you start feeling more comfortable walking on the boot to where you could do so without crutches? This injury is such a mind trick and I’m not sure what the line is between pushing myself too hard vs. expected discomfort as I continue to get stronger.
