So, it all comes down to balance. The muscles on my left side remain weaker than the muscles on my right side, and the imbalance causes all the muscle problems on the left. This morning in PT I discussed this revelation with Kristin, and she agreed that we needed to do more targeted work on the left side. We tested the differential on the leg press machine. While the right leg could press 95 pounds with great ease, the left struggled to press 65. I simply must bring the left leg closer to the strength in the right leg if I want my progress to continue.
The instructions for this weekend are core strengthening, hamstring strenthening on the left side, and lots of walks with Stella.
