I saw the physio today. She is a bit dour, but proficient. She put me through my paces, but frustratingly my foot did not want to stretch very far. It was a bit early in the morning and I had just been rushing about doing sandwiches and getting the children off to school.
We went to the gym which was a new experience for me. I tried walking, standing on one foot and then my bad foot and walking backwards. I came away with a new hip-strengthening exercise to add to my repertoire.
As soon as my foot was in the shoe, it was much happier, so she suggested that I need to wear less supportive shoes to enable my ankle to get used to working again. Luckily I bought a new pair of supportive sandals just after I last saw the consultant. It's been a warm day so I've been wearing them, but they seem hard after my memory sole inserts! The plus side is better ventilated feet!!
