#mobilityproblems

I think I need a physiotherapist for my MOBILITY GOALS. Know any? . Swipe to the third (last) video and you will see that I can't squat without falling backwards... unless I have weight in front of me as seen in this first video. If you look closely, all my bodyweight is behind my legs, while someone with flexible ankles has a portion of their weight centered over their legs as they travel downward. . I don't love squatting so I don't care about lifting heavy weight. The problem is that this affects my running. It's something I have to work on if I want to be a 75-year-old granny track star 😀 Apparently if your ankle mobility isn't at least 15 degrees you are at risk of tearing your Achilles. I tore my Soleus. If you run frequently and get burning heels/Achilles you probably need to address your ankles like me (but I'm no expert). . SO.this is the year I actually follow a consistent rehab program so I can sprint safely again and squat without holding any weight, or having elevated heels. . Hey buds I am looking for recommendations of physiotherapists or any professionals (hopefully in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, or Vancouver) who can help me get past this problem. I have been given stretching routines by physio pros before and it helps but I also have scar tissue affecting it. . . Thanks in advance for tips and referrals!! . . #mobilityproblems #mobilitygoals #personaltrainers #dorsiflexion #physiovancouver #physiotherapists #vancouverpersonaltrainer #vancouverfitness #northvanfitness #westvanrun #westvancouver #squatform #squatproblems #squattraining (at North Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtXjgeahYwi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sazkc639bz1c

Got a better #kneebrace hoping it lets me be more stable on this attempted grocery run. Only gonna use the cane today if absolutely needed. #meniscustear #osteoarthritis #mobilityproblems #domesticwintersoldier #fullmetalblunt

This is what chronic pain & mobility problems looks like; all I did was turn when getting out of bed & virtually all the joints on my right side cracked leaving me screeching, I laid back down & a while later attempted to get up on my "good side" which resulted in my hip grinding & knee popping. I had my boyfriend take this picture because I want to be able to show the doctors my pain, prove that my pain & lack of mobility is real. This honestly is my worst nightmare because I've never had all my joints go out at once like this, I can't even stand right now.🤕😢😟 #chroicpain #painproblems #mobilityproblems #mobilityissues #badphysicalhealthday #badpainday #ithurts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpa0YnYgObU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ixovvg8qgmle

Its official y'all I just spent the most money I ever spent in my life at once but I just ordered my electric bike! My chronic pain causing me so much mobility issues that I have to use a cane on my worst days now has been really disheartening for me. But after seeing one of my favourite 😍 YouTuber's @eatyourkimchi do a video about their electric bikes they have & how they're really a god send for Martina who has chronic pain & essentially gives her & I quote "robot legs" I decided I was going to get one for myself to help me get around too! I am so excited this is my little tax return gift to myself & by the end of next week I'm gonna have my own electric bike! 🚲😍 I'm gonna cover it in glitter & stickers & dub it the cherry mobile! #electricbike #disability #disabilityissues #mobilityproblems #mobilityissues #biking #excited #beinghealthy

I’ve dealt with chronic pain in my leg since I was 13 & fractured my foot, twisting my knee, partially tearing a ligament & taking a piece of bone with it in addition to waves of shooting nerve pain & numbness. I spent almost a year in physical therapy trying to rebuild the muscles in my leg. Yet despite my physical therapy my leg never healed right leaving me with varying kinds of chronic pain in my leg & mobility issues. When I first told the Drs it wasn’t getting better they said you’re young, you’re fine, you’ll heal & didn’t listen to me. But it never did heal, & due to them not listening to me the first time I just kept quiet about my pain for the most part saying yeah I had pain & wore my knee brace sometimes but never told them how bad it was for years & years because they hadn’t listened when I tried before, & while I probably should have been wearing my knee & ankle braces most days I didn’t & struggled through the pain because I didn’t want to be labeled crippled or disabled. So maybe its my own fault then for not being a strong enough advocate for own health & not wanting to admit my own weakness but my pain & mobility has gotten so bad that I know have to have a can for “emergencies” when my leg gets too bad. This is my first day using it & I’m having a lot of issues coping with being 22 & having a cane even if only for my bad days. So any love or tips on dealing with a cane, chronic pain, or mobility issues at a young age to help me build my ladder today would be awesome #selfie #chronicillness #chroicpain #invisibleillness #cane #painproblems #mobilityproblems #badphysicalhealthday #mybumleg
