Walking

so getting closer and closer to being able to stand up straight. should see some major improvements in the next four months,,getting closer

Hey, hello, yes hello!

Its painfully slow, two steps forward, one step back, but its fucking happening. Very very slowly my body is getting straighter and walking is easier and more pleasurable….

here is a short clip of me walking 13 months post surgery. To your eye it may look the exact same as before, or very simmilar….

However, I am noticing a marked difference in my ability to stand staighter with my legs together (which has been very difficult) I still cant stand up straight with legs together, BUT I seem to have gained anywhere from an inch to two inches since spring , and feel that I am several months away from achieveing a totally straight standing posture, which would mean a close to perfect walking gait! (thats the hope!)

So, just to re-cap a few things:

1) was fit enough to enter a Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Competition in July
2) went to India in July with the intention of finding a cheap place to eat well, focus on exercise and work with an Ayurevedic doctor / clinic. Travelled all through the south of India looking for a place and all I found was hard beds, insanely populated towns and cities, useless clinics and stress. by week 5 i was hunched up almost like before surgery and trying for the first time in my life to get morphine for the pain.
3) took the last of my money and booked a one way ticket to Peru, with the intention of a) meeting Dr JE Williams and b) going to the amazon to work with the different jungle medicines there c) getting the fuck out of india!

Whats happening now
Very simply I am taking about 3 – 5 months to work intensively on bringing my inflammatory levels down! This needs to happen so as I can get as full range of movement as possible, and increase that range of movement with the tissues able to repair and regenerate.

I also want to re-double my efforts in stretching, strenghtening and re-aligning my body!

Will be back in touch soon with more detailed break down, thank you so much for your support!
