Knee Pain?? It might be your hips…. 🤔

……………………………..

Imagine if your hips don’t provide you with much rotation… which is part of their job btw….
It’s gotta come from somewhere down the chain… so maybe your knees try to rotate (more than they should)…..

This leads to:
❌ Increased joint stress
❌ poor knee mechanics, including pivoting and cutting
❌ poor deceleration mechanics

Start this:
✅ Hip mobility… heavy into internal and external rotation
✅ Posterior chain strengthening
✅ Progressive loading into hip rotation

Contemplating a knee replacement or hip replacement?
I was talking to a client today, and he was telling me about a friend of his who started having some hip pain, and he said.. “well, I guess it’s time for a hip replacement “….

Wait, what?!? NOOOO. WHY is a lot of people’s first go-to upon initial joint or soft tissue pain is surgery?

We, as physical therapists, admittedly, and historically, have done a not so great job of educating clients on what we do!!! Yes!! In the majority of cases, especially initial onset of osteoarthritis… we can fix that!

Surgical Versus Non-Surgical Treatments for the Knee: Which Is More Effective?. Cureus 15(2): e34860. DOI 10.7759/cureus.34860

States a 12 week program of skilled physical therapy delayed or prevented a knee replacement in 95% of subjects!

Does the first video help with shoulder mobility?
Probably.

Does the second video help even more??
You betcha 😉

Anytime you move your shoulder away from your body, you’re mobilizing surrounding tissue.

Anyone know why the second video is the first video on steroids?! 🤔

1. Neglecting Mobility Mobility promotes overall joint health. Especially aging joints. Let’s keep your joints young

2. One-Size-Fits-All Programs. Personalized programs > generic programs. Nuff said.

3. Ignoring Mental Wellness Integration of mental wellness and physical wellness is key.

4. Inflexible Scheduling..The new rehab is made of flexible training schedules that fit individual lifestyles, rather than rigid clinic times.

5. Neglecting Recovery. ditch the “no pain, no gain” mindset.

6. Overcomplicating Nutrition. simplified, balanced nutrition > fad diets or overly complicated meal plans.

9. **Negative Self-Talk**: Promote positive body image and self-talk in training environments, moving away from toxic fitness culture.

7. Ignoring Technology. The future of rehab is here. Virtual training. Custom rehab programs. On YOUR schedule. Quicker outcomes than traditional rehab. Better results.

WHAT IM NOT BRINGING INTO 2026…….

1. Not celebrating my wins
—Building a business (which I’m VERY new at btw!) can be frustrating, defeating, exhausting. All the things. So, when I get the tiniest of victories, it needs to be recognized and celebrated! Easier said than done!

2. Skipping daily walks
— I know as well as anyone how important walking is for your mental health and cardiovascular health. Taking even a 10 min walk to get some vitamin D will do wonders.

3. Not carving out Me time
— Working full time and doing Mama things is, well, you know. This one is self explanatory

4. Not setting work boundaries
— Being newly self employed, I’ve found myself saying Yes A LOT! to clients, mostly to keep them happy and not lose them. Burnout definitely set in this past year!

5. Neglecting my supplements
— I know what I need to take, but it’s been difficult remembering to take them everyday! But, I’m super stoked I found a great supplement company that provides a wide range of products for all kinds of de of stuff!
DM ‘SUPPLEMENTS’ and I’ll give ya my discount 😉

The missing link in relieving recurrent hip pain …..

……………………

You tried rest, you’ve tried ice, you’ve tried stretches. It helps temporarily but always comes back, doesn’t it?

……………………

Your hips are designed to move in all sorts of ways, different planes of motion. Not just forward and backward, not even side to side. They are begging to rotate!

Rotation with mobility, along with progressive loading into rotation should do the trick!

Wanna know more? DM ‘HIPS’ and I’ll send you some info!
