89. Sky, big difference between in hospital PT and intensive PT at rehab

Fri Nov 21, 2025, 02:45 PM

Nov 2025

Talk to the doc about a week or two of rehab.

Yeah, I know you want to get home, but your injures were extensive and I guarandamntee you're not as ready as you think you are..

Besides, the rehab will have several elliptical machines that will gently work your upper body while building some stamina in your legs, the latter being very useful when you get home, trust me.

Treadmills are OK for perfectly flat surfaces but the world aint flat. PT will exercise those muscle groups that will help you cope with that. It's harder than you think after a spinal injury.
