New Stryde Diary 2018 - with Dr. Paley

Edit Post

Hey guys,

FYI quick update - I’m about one month out from my last turn and I am about 95% normal.  Just some soreness in my gluts when I walk far but it’s getting better everyday. My hamstrings and still tight but doesn’t effect my gait.

I’m going to start doing yoga and getting in great shape - the stryde Nail is a def game changer.  I’m just waiting to take my x rays at the end of February once im cleared I’m going to try jogging / running.

Did you ask Paley to no perform IT Band release on you?

When I was there I was told he started doing it on everyone - So yep - I got it done

Grats!
amazing recovery 1 month post op.

U're saying its down to Stryde. But do you think there were other factors too involved?
like in first post you bought stretching cable + proteins?

Can you speak more about the ratio difference? you said it looks noticeably longer - does this mean if you didn't have the money/time for tibs you would be unhappy/regretful?

Also are you judging the noticeable ratio difference off looking in the mirror, comments from others or pictures standing next to other people?
Thanks!

But you said you felt your it bands tight.

I think the protein helped my muscles recover a lot, I was a stretch machine during the first 50% but slacked big time over time

I really think it’s the stryde, I keep in touch with two other guys and they’re recovered as well one went to 8.0cm and the other went to 6.6cm? Around there

All because you have it done it doesn’t mean you still won’t feel tightness the procedure entails them cutting your itb and manually lengthening it - your body goes through a process in which the parts that are sewn together regenerates and makes muscle. It’s not like you got it and you become loose automatically

Hey! I’m so happy for your healthy recovery- how’s your walking now- is it completely normal and unassisted? Also did you see any woman doing stryde with Paley? Or any women at all doing LL there?
