Initial results from tower work

It has been a little over 5 weeks now since I have been doing the supine groin progressive stretch with my new tower. I have tried to do this stretch every day. I am pleased with the results I have seen so far. My limp is nearly gone; I only seem to limp now at the end of the day; I assume my hip muscles are tired at that point. It appears that my right foot is pointing more towards the front than before. I went through a 3 week period where my feet started bothering me; it felt like plantar fasciitis. I believe my gait was changing back to a more normal one and the muscles in my foot weren't used to the new gait. The foot pain has since gone away. I have had new aches and pains in my hip and knees that come and go, but I assume these are due to realignment of my bones. I find it easier to walk up and down stairs now, although I still hold the railing. The hip still feels weak and I have to continue to watch my balance and how I step.

So far so good!
