This is Maria, we are working on functional strength in preparation for hip surgery in a few months.

Her primary goals are to stay strong and functional, and make her recovery from surgery as smooth as possible.

She is a workhorse, with one of the best attitudes of any patient I’ve ever had.

Here she is doing the move that I suggest everyone start doing if they struggle to get up and down off the floor.

Surgery can be necessary.

It’s neurological.
