I went for my visit to site 2 days ago Sarah p and immediately the method of evaluation was apparent. The physical therapist looked at the name noticed it was swollen felt it to understand as much as possible what was stopping it from extending and decided to massage swollen portions to sleep good start to get a better extension of the knee at the beginning of the session he measured p passive extension at 15%. After sucking the top of the knee which Pierce very swollen you also / Madrid I didn't sign the back of the knee and by the end of the session I was able to extend almost all the way. He also explain to me how my quadricep is having trouble firing and flexing all the way when my knee is extended the reason is that the swelling in the knee causes a bit of pain when extended too far and so my quadricep says I don't need to fire and expend more so as the swelling goes down and as I'm able to extend farther I will work on simply getting the quadricep to fire while in a fully extended state. While I was there he also put a cold compress on it for about 10 minutes which really cooled it down. He also explained that I should not be trying to fire the quad if I am bending my knee so don't exercise or try to exercise my knee and the quad if it is tired or hurt because I'm teaching my body the wrong thing.
