CARDIO

- Basketball for ~1.5 hrs.
- Ice knees.
- Ibuprofen for knee and ankle swelling.
- Calf stretching, misc. other stretching.

You'll notice that I'm working on calf flexibility a lot in PT and rehab these days. What you want is 15 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion for normal day-to-day stuff. My PT theorizes I should have 20 for optimal squatting. Normally, I have 10 or so, but after playing basketball this goes to 5. So I have to do a lot of calf stretches.
