After I broke my leg I lost a heap of muscle but it’s surprizing how quickly it comes back, swimming is great and then when it’s improved a lot I used a bosu ball, which is like a large ball cut in half and mounted to a plastic disc. This was excellant for strengthening my leg by just standing on it and balancing, then as the leg improved more stand on one leg then the other. This is obviously quite a way into the recovery but I still use it now as it’s great for keeping your balance and stabilizers in check.

Lay your old mans Banana on its side and pick it up again. Reapeat as necessary and you will be back to full strength in no time :laugh:

All the best on recovery mate and I look forward to seeing you out on the Coffs loops in November.

Thats great news on the progress Corey,
Yeah, the pool sounds like the go for a while till ya can slowly build it up to more vigorous stuff. I`m sure you will be directed on what type of physio to undertake by your surgeon anyway,,, Whatever he says to do, do it & all will be fine

Cheers

Hi Corey,

I’m with Eagle. Get advice from Surgeon and/or physio. Don’t do a TB and NOT do the exercises. Do them with the same passion as you have with riding.

It’s not all about getting muscle mass…. you have to teach the muscles how to activate again and more importantly you need to balance between stretching and strengthening. That’s why you need professional direction.

Good luck and be patient otherwise you will have a lifetime of problems…. trust me… I’m in that situation with my knee.

Hey Corey8, got to love the ramifications of get older! A broken bone and you get all the added bonuses like blood clots etc. They certainly put the panic’s up the doctor. How are those needles in the gut, and the great bruises that they leave – an added bonus, then the tables and the blood tests – for s##t sake I only broke my leg!

Sorry to hear about your fate; all the best!

Huskybloke – one of my young blokes just got back on his bike(last weekend) after 6 months on the side line with a broken femur. One very happy camper. Still got the plate in his leg but doctor gave him the all clear. No racing yet – orders of she who must be obeyed.
