And I guess it makes sense with orthopedic. When is something a bone issue compared to a muscle issue? Best to start off with the physio referral because why do stuff to bones when it might turn out to be muscular / ligaments after all? At least atheletes have their muscles and ligaments in tip-top shape. So one knows that what is lacking is in the bones... So what one needs to do is to develop the muscles as best one can (within the limits of what the bones allow) and then make a case for improving the bones.
I can stand on one leg now. I guess now... It is all about timing.
My leg really does ache. In a nasty bone achy way. But two weeks of the gym lol. Not quite good enough yet, methinks. What would be more realistic? Six months? See how much the bone aches tomorrow...
