Tibia are more risky but with a good doctor like Betz/Becker, Paley etc not really an issue. The Point is more that, when you start with tibia in the most cases you will need to do femur as well to improve your tibia/femur ratio of 0.9+. On the other hand it is possible to live with a tibia/femur ratio of 0,7 or less.

  Not that im thinking in tibias I ask myself things.. 10 years ago I woke up from my bed in the winter, was so cold didnt stretch my body was warm and I just felt like a contracture or tendonitis, was so painful 5 minutes after that it disapear, now I can said that is probably because One day jogging didnt step well and felt like the achilles tendon had a injury, the funny part is that I dont feel nothing and painless can run, jump, play soccer everytjinh so dont sure what it is, its back when is cold not like pain but some disconfort feeling in the tendon or is just my mind, a betzbone ir tibia is way to go I think for all patients is better to do in summer to have more relaxed muscles and tendons

Hey maxheight35, can I ask how international calling went for you?

Im trying to do this under the radar solo and am worried that family will call me or vice versa and an international number will show up instead of my contact name.  Then Ill have to go on an explanation of why im in Germany.

Did you take or make any calls when you were there and know how it came across to the caller?

@SpeedDialer hope to get your input too


Yup. PT on tibias is quite easy!

If you have a 9-5 job, or have to sit in an office all day everyday then I highly recommend doing tibia. Personally trade crypto so I work from home.

I spend 20 minutes 3x a day stretching tibias. Gym 3 hours a day. The big one is stretching while in the sauna - this helps more than you’d think!

is it because you can use your hands to move the lower leg and stuff. The femur pt require this stretch band thing right?
