First off, I have the most amazing clients (many whom I now call friends) and wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate your support. With my surgery tomorrow (ACDF neck surgery for those interested in reading about it) I will be out of commission in 6 week protocol blocks and severe lifting restriction (5lbs only!) They will check at 6 weeks if the fusion is starting to take and how much longer it will require for full fusion. My goal is to be back practicing at end of 3 months but that is dependent on imagining and neurosurgeon approval. Thanks for all the best wishes and FOR ONCE AGAIN putting up with me not being able to work. Although the shutdowns with COVID were not my fault, I am still worried about losing time with my clients once more. KEEP MOVING PEOPLE. Keep doing the strengthening and stretches that I have shown to you. But primarily KEEP MOVING! That will be my job as well (walking) as it is the most effective treatment for recovery short term. Please everyone have Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas and all Happy New Year. 🎄🥂🍾
Much love! Cheers!
