312 | Does Exercising Make My Hip Arthritis Worse?

Feeling pain in your hips? Worried about getting hip osteoarthritis? When we think of hips, bones, and aging, osteoarthritis seems to be what we fear most. But, it does not have to be that way. Dr. Jen & Dr. Dom address the fears associated with the diagnosis and the physiology of what is happening in the body. It is important to recognize that your scan does not necessarily correlate with the symptoms you are experiencing. Dr. Jen & Dr. Dom hone in on the importance of exercise and systemic strength, through research, to create different tendencies around the hip, prevent prolonged symptoms or symptoms from arising, and for the hips to feel something different. Let’s dig into how you can begin to address your perspectives around hip osteoarthritis, pain, and fears around movement with pain.
