Saw physio again today and although I was feeling and moving so much better and itching to get back to my workouts, she pressed on me to see how I was doing and there are still really tender parts (much to my surprise) ;(
Most of the spasm has gone but still a little left. She gave me some treatment to help loosen off some stiffness and told me to still rest it more.
I can however try some gentle yoga and some upper body weights seated but no jumping, planks, pull ups or any core work yet.
So at least I can start doing something at last - yippeee!
But she has stressed to me to take it slow and steady and I will. I'd rather spend the next 4 weeks building back up slowly to 100% than go 100% for one week and then be out of action for 6-8 weeks. I learnt that lesson the painful way and I will not repeat it. I'll go back to see her a week today just get another check to make sure all is good.
So it might be hard but I'm going to do it and get back up to full speed slowly and cautiously. Thank goodness for the modifiers as I think I'll be following them for a while.
