Physical Therapy into Project


My biggest physical problem as of now has to be the fact that my knees have been hurting me for months now. I’ve been working on my knees when I go to physical therapy for over a month and a half now but I am yet to feel any relief on my knees. Jenna asked that I go to get x-rays and even see about getting blood work done so they can see if I have arthritis as my mom and grandmother does.

The problem is that my quad muscles aren’t strong enough to support my weight. This causes for my knees to hyper extend just about all of the time, causing me this unbearable pain in which I suffer everyday. At initial thought Jenna believed that doing some exercises would fix the problem but it actually caused my knees to become more irritated.

This made Jenna concerned to the point where she had personally wrote Strong hospital a note requesting that I get x-rays ASAP. Since I have still been going to the gym Jenna has showed me some exercises that I can do at the gym to help my quads. She also showed me some other things that I can while I’m standing somewhere or even waiting for instructions during my martial arts sessions.

I have to do my best to incorporate this few things to my gym time and whenever I can during my day. If I loose my knees I will no longer be able to practice martial arts physically.
