Physical exercise during lengthening period
« on: December 25, 2022, 07:05:17 PM »

Dear all,

do doctors recommend physical exercise (e.g. weightlifting) during the lengthening period? In my opinion, this could trigger a blood clot to dislodge and move towards the lungs causing a pulmonary embolism.

It came to my mind when I read about the indian-canadian guy who died under the supervision of Dr. G in Milan. He reported doing exercise in a gym a few days before he died from pulmonary embolism.

What's your opnion on that?

I didn't do any exercise.  Just stretching.

During lengthening, it's mostly stretching. For strengthening, just light exercises like standing on both legs, exercise bicycle, light leg presses, and NuStep machine at low resistance/weight.

During consolidation the strengthening exercises get progressively more intense.
