My daughter is now 7 months post op and all restrictions were lifted after 6 months. She is slowly trying to get back in shape and is doing more and more each day. One thing I noticed is that the muscles in her legs are very tight and she is unable to stretch her arms out much past her knees. The pain that she feels when she stretches isn't in her back but in the backs of her legs. I think some consistent, mild stretching would help, along with regular yoga to help with her flexibility. She really wants to play volleyball in school this fall and I'm worried that her lack of flexibility in her legs may compromise her ability to play.
Did anyone else experience difficulty stretching to their toes after the surgery? I certainly don't expect her to ever be able to lay her head down on to her knees - but there must be some room for more stretching?
Any thoughts? I would like to start doing some Yoga with her at home and would like to purchase a beginner DVD that we could follow. Any suggestions on good DVDs?
