OldieButGoldie Internal Femurs - Dr. Betz - 2013

Hi guys,
I just posted something in my diary on old forum  -responding to somebody´s question about physiotherapy during recovery- , and I thought I might as well post it here, too, in order to get the diary also going on this forum:

"Hey OBG, how much physiotherapy do you undergo during recovery? Is it the same as lengthening where you do 3 sessions per week or has it reduced to 1 session?
Thanks"

I haven´t done any PT at all. I know it sounds crazy but that´s the way it is. If you have a skilled PT guy, PT will definitely help a lot. I only had guys who didn´t know shi* about LL and didn´t know what to do with me. This only got me frustrated. Thus, during lengthening, I only asked them to give me a massage. After lengthening, I didn´t even bother to go see the PT guys any more. I actually did the whole LL thing without a single real PT session. I only bicycled, walked a lot, worked out, went dancing (good for the hip muscles) and tried to stretch a little. But I even skipped the stretching completely a few weeks after  finishing lengthening. It seems like the muscles get stretched by all the activities I mentioned. Well, whatever, it worked out fine for me. It just came back from 7 days of snowboarding and skiing, was on the slopes every day and felt very safe.
I will upload a video of it later this week.

Do this: [ youtube ]link[ /youtube ] but put the brackets directly next to the word youtube (i had to space them just so you could get a visual).

Here comes a new skiing video. Taken a few days prior the 9-months-post surgery mark (or: around 6 months into consolidation...)

I assume many of you do not know my diary on the old forum. Therefore I will make a little documentary of my LL by posting some videos.
My surgery was on may 7 in 2013. I lengthened around 6cm (before 173cm, now 179cm).
This is my first LL video, taken 2 months and 10 days after surgery.

This is 3,5 months after surgery.

proportion video, 6 months after surgery.

6 months and 12 days after surgery.
