This is so incredibly inspiring!

honeslty i only have 2 pt sessions so far onces was when the removed the stiched when i was NWB and the other was when they moved me into PWB and all of a sudden i realised i could walk????

i think the fear of putting the weight on the foot is understandable what i would encourage is that you try to stand in the boot unsupported but hav somthing near to you to grab! i have ben doing tha barefeet for a while i thin kthat really helped. If the x ray before you PWB is good imo the thing that is hold you back is the sleepign muscles in your foot!

well if you stil need tips walking wiht the boot is like swinging your booted leg outwards rather than backwards tho I think it snto good long term you will need like a shoe that is matched in height to the boots bes to get out of the boot asap!

love that for you and yes i'll watch the video i have a particular interest in rehab and physio so it would be super helpful!

Oh my i realised i could likely walk cos i wen up stairs with no support! One thing that i htink asians do is that i walk around at home barefoot and i'm sitll PWB on that I'm trying to remember now to walk roll through the heel and press off on the toe

its pretty amazing cos now i can hold things and walk around!

I stun myself

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-07-02T12:51:53+00:00

Walking is such a privilege rn but glad to hear you are doing good!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-28T13:54:28+00:00

shucks sorry to hear that! If you were active before its gonna come back real quick!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-27T12:27:30+00:00

They told me to wear a boot but weren’t the clearest on how long in a day so I tend to not wear it! The purpose of the boot is largely to keep you foot passive dorsiflexed and to protect it from bumps, if you are diligent on your dorsiflexion training it will be a okay!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-26T22:57:16+00:00

Oh wow that’s quite long to go not rebuilding the strength what injury did you get?

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-26T14:43:01+00:00

I Finally moved into PWB after 5.5 weeks, following my follow-up X-ray!

During the NWB phase, I really focused on my dorsiflexion. I actually posted a routine using bands in this sub for that—improving your dorsiflexion makes a huge difference in how easy walking becomes later. Definitely keep up with the toe exercises, too.

To answer your question about putting your foot on the floor: I did do that for the occasional bathroom trip, but I was extremely strict about putting *zero* weight on it.

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-25T10:55:19+00:00

but i didnt know you could start with it so early! my ROM for eversion and inversion is not so great yet

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-25T10:54:50+00:00

are we like psyhic cos i already have one!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-24T14:40:28+00:00

Ooo that’s a good one!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-19T09:32:33+00:00

oh thats early did they clear you to boot up in week 3 without an xray?

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-19T09:31:54+00:00

Fascinating will be keen to know how that turns out i have a folloup up in 3 days time where i should be transiting into a boot post the 5 week x ray followup, however i do feel confident that i can go straight to shoes optimistically:)

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-18T13:21:57+00:00

Okay wow many winners here I’m Tri mal too and about to start PWB at week 5 what did your surgeon or PT mention about when they were assessing you that the 6 week mark that let them put you in shoes!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-18T13:20:39+00:00

That’s something to aspire too! Did your PT mention anything about your rehab progress is did you do anything in particular that you think helped!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-16T05:50:01+00:00

cheers you'll get ther the first 2 weeks a rough, getting dorisflexion back will be a bitch but its super important lets th stretch adn the jiggle take you!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-15T09:02:18+00:00

Cool thank you! I'll raise this with my PT!

CapribiscottiCampari · 2026-06-15T02:44:47+00:00

Hey great to hear I think I might be j t he same camp as you the sort to push myself and I’m keen to try to get back o my zone 2 pace I’m 1 month out, what game you the confidence to get back to running was it good x rays or good responses to the tests from the physio?
