Since I ran yesterday, I contented myself with Pilates and stretching this morning before going to the osteopath. I mentioned my knee issues from last week and she adjusted and poked and straightened and gave me four more new exercises to do. At this rate, stretching is going to be my new part-time job! The new exercises are an IT band one, two glute exercises, and something for the hip adductors. However, she said it was nice to move away from the original sciatica-type issues I first saw her about and switch to more of an athletic/performance focus. The original problem is not totally gone, but it is greatly improved.
Additional pluses included my resting heart rate of 60 (!) and telling the resident working with the doctor about my running and seeing how impressed she was. There was an athlete's swagger in my voice as I talked to her that I've never heard before.
