    Appointment with physio today went really well. I now have some resistance band exercises to do, to make it harder and strengthen my deeper muscles. And the good news is I can go back to full yoga practice, so downward dogs here we come! Going to book a 1:1 with my tutor to get some tailored exercises, but while I'm waiting I can get back to recorded classes.

    Still some leg length discrepancy (1cm), but hoping the exercises, including tai chi and yoga, will help to adjust my balance a bit more by strengthening my legs. Plus going back to my osteopath to do some more work on my back, so maybe the difference will continue to be corrected.

    Just one more physio appointment in 6 weeks then I will probably be signed off till my review in a year's time. So probably won't post much on this diary for a while unless there's anything new to report.

    @cocoa, those were the exercises I found most difficult at first, but I came back to them after a few weeks and they felt easier. So hope it won't be too long for you. Good to hear you're doing more now.

    Have a good week everyone and once again thank you for all your support.

    Jane x
