My journey from a marathon runner and triathlete, through two ankle reconstruction surgeries due to PTTD, all while earning a PhD in Exercise Physiology, and starting a career as a college professor...
Ever seen a flatter foot? This was the beginning of my PTTD surgery journey...

Backwards Step-ups with the bungee cord, manual therapy (scars, anke ROM)
-------------------------
After work, I went for a swim.
Swim
4 x 25 warmup
2 x 25 right arm pull drill
2 x 25 pull
2 x 25 left arm pull drill
+swam 15 minutes continuous
+Kick drill with flippers.

Reflection
I limped around all day after therapy and I had serious cramps in the pool today. My feet were really achy. Minor setback.
Note to self: It is not good to swim on therapy days, especially after sessions where I have to do that horrific baps board exercise.
