I went for a checkup on my dodgy knee today. The good news is that the MRI showed nothing. The bad news is that my knee still hurts. So after a little discussion I’m signed up for four months of physio to see if that can fix things.
That’s the injury. The insult is that the only aerobic exercise left to me is swimming, which I strongly dislike. But if there’s one thing I dislike more than swimming, it’s swimming front crawl; I am, as those of you who know me will be unsurprised to hear, a breast-stroking man. So can you guess which stroke is not actually helping my knee, and which one I should do instead? That’s right.

I recently came across this book while trying to fix pains from various forms of exercise. It might help you at a minimum be a better consumer of your Physical Therapy.
Thanks for the recommendation – One of the problems I have at the moment is I’m sufficiently limited in exercise that imbalance is almost inevitable, so it sounds like just the thing.
