Case Study update: intermittent work

Between myself and my patient going on several small holidays, we've not had many workouts in the last month. Today we finally got together for the first time in 2 weeks, and his strength and total endurance for the workout were wanting, but overall he did really well. The important thing is that his mobility has continued to improve even without the gym, and he was able to play golf for the first time since his back surgery. He hit out two rounds while on holiday last week, making it through 12 holes the first time and 7 the second. Today his hip and spinal rotation where notably better than when I last saw him. No further word or decisions on what to do after his biospy--it will be another 2 months until he goes back to the urologist for a follow up PSA test.
