So we went to PT yesterday. Knee update, for anyone that cares.

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Jan 8 '14, 09:36

It took us 2 weeks (with holidays and weather) to get Jamie in for his first appointment with the therapist.

After examining him pretty thoroughly...he found that the knee was actually getting better and was much stronger than it had been...which suggests no tear. Yay!

But the real problem was in the hip area. Jamie apparently has very weak hips. So when he would do his martial arts and all the jumping...his hips were too weak to support him. What this did was put extra weight and stress on the knees and one of the just kinda gave out.

So...we have 6 weeks of sessions that are going to focus partially on the knee, but mostly on getting the core and hips to be stronger.

WAY better than what I expected to find out...so we're pretty pleased about it.

Not pleased about the $65/visit...but what are you gonna do?
