Improve your hip and knee pain - exercise and lifestyle program for health and well being
Is your hip pain and knee pain slowing you
down and impacting your confidence?
Are you having sleepless nights, leaving you
exhausted in the day?
Are you fed up with paying the physio, chiro,
or massage therapist every week
just to keep you moving?
Maybe you’re waiting for your hip replacement
or knee replacement surgery, and want
to make certain your post-surgical
recovery will be as rapid as humanly possible!
You're not alone. 3.37 million Australians are suffering from long term, persistent, chronic pain. Pain in the hips and knees is really common, and it doesn’t just worsen our physical health, it also wreaks havoc on our social lives, our family time, and our mental health and well being. There can be many explanations for hip pain and knee pain. The most common cause of hip pain and knee pain, particularly in older adults is osteoarthritis, and this is the main reason people have a hip replacement or knee replacement procedure.
