neuro physio

hi folks
i had another appt today with my neuro physio and as i went in she asks how iv been doing ?
i said i was sore after my recent neuro gym class and i feel that my ankles are losing some range of movement and still getting stiff calfs and drop foot on the left afetr i hit a 100yrds or so walking.

she sat me down and started checking my leg muscles and stated she could feel increased muscle tone more so on the left leg !!
then she lay me on the bence and started manipulating legs arms shoulders and so on for about half an hour.
then when she finished she said before you go lets see you walk up and down the corridor.
i did it a coupkle of times and she said i think the muscle tightness in your legs is from fatuige ???
not neurological see you in two weeks WTF !!!
i know i dont work any more but im not that de conditioned yet ..... in my job i was on my feet all day and walked about six miles a day and i finished because i could not do it ie legs getting tighter and and fatuige ??
every time i go to her i get a different attitude she p****s me off

any thoughts guys
regards bairdy

sometimes I don't like seeing people like that, they all have to put in their ideas and all it does is confuse people and they really don't know for sure.  

when you hear different things you know they really don't know what they are talking about.

take care

Bairdy,

Was she suggesting that the walking problem was coming from muscle fatigue - that comes from use of the muscles and their tiring?  Neurological problems would be from corrupted signals.

Muscle fatigue can happen quikcly and has little to do with deconditioning.  You can be in very good shape and still have this type of problem.

Either way, if she is seeing a problem with your walking after exertion then she has something to work on with you when you go back in two weeks.

Stick with it and keep giving her a chance to help, ok?

best,

Lulu
