When I was leaving Belgium, Marc, the physical therapist who works with Dr De

Smet, gave me a list of physical therapy exercises I ought to be doing when I

returned home. Somehow I misplaced that list. Does anyone have a copy of it?

I

would really appreciate it. Thank you all.

Hey kids...

The generosity is nice -- and typical, it seems of surface hippies --

but wouldn't it be just as easy to e-mail Dr. de Smet's office and

ask for a copy of the pt's exercise instructions?

Just a thought.

cross the midline!

* Combined active flextion from the hip and knee and make an

extension against resistance

From a local physiotherapist here, because I am having some trouble

getting rid of the limp which has been with m for 5 years (I am only

in my 5th week)

Lie on bed on good leg. Make the operated leg long, so pelvis

tilts. Lift operated leg an hold. Repeat. This is to strengthen one

of the muscles that stops the hip flopping around when you walk. He

says I have a model walk, like on the catwalk. Not good for a guy!

Stand on thick phone book with the operated leg. Make good leg long,

keeping operated leg knee straight. This tilts pelvis up and down. I

my case he is trying to cure a pelvis which has become permanently

tilted since it took 7 years from my first pain to time of diagnosis.
