Does this sound like you?

– You have pain that wraps around the side of your hip, radiates down your outer thigh, deep in your groin, or into your glutes

– You experience sensations of hip stiffness, locking, grinding, or popping. You have painful clicking, popping, a build-up of pressure/tightness, or feelings of knee weakness or “giving way.”

– You have a dull ache in your knee with occasional sharp “twinges” of pain

– Severity of symptoms increased gradually over weeks or months. Now you’re noticing a limp with walking and a need to alter the way you go up and down stairs.

– You can’t sit for longer than 20-30 minutes without you knee or hip complaining

– Your MRI or x-ray and revealed “arthritis,” “chondral wear,” “joint space narrowing,” “ osteophytes,” or “edema”

– You can’t squat as deep as you’d like without hip pain and or your knee feels stiff and achy immediately after standing up from sitting / with the first few steps you take

– Your symptoms fluctuate with walking and more vigorous activities: Sometimes exercise makes your hip and knee feel better, other times you feel flared-up afterwards

– You’re concerned that your knee or hip symptoms could get worse with activity so you’re participating in less movement and exercise than you would normally enjoy

What’s covered in this 6 week progressive class series?

– Affirmation and support from a Doctor of Physical Therapy that you can maintain an active lifestyle with hip/knee osteoarthritis

– Self-assessment tools to identify key areas for improving hip/knee mobility and strength

– Self-treatment tools for decreasing pain throughout the day and night, and increasing function with vigorous exercise

– Guidelines for movement and exercise with pain: Are your symptoms sending you a “green, yellow, or red light”?

– Strategies for tracking goals and measuring improvement over time

EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

You can participate in the first 2 classes with little to no equipment! Have a firm chair, bench, or stool for the first class.

As we move along, a pair of massage balls (or 2 tennis balls held together in a sock) and something for light to moderate weight (a kettlebell, dumbbell, or a heavy book) is encouraged. By week 3 please also have a resistance band loop. We’ll go over equipment recommendations together in the first 2 classes so you’ll be prepared for later classes.

REPLAY VIDEOS

Yes! There will be replay videos available if you can’t attend live. Video recordings will become available a few hours after each live class. You will have access to class replays for 1 year.
