I am doing hip mobility movements and strengthening exercises every day without fail– this has been key to my recovery. I am closing in on what I believe to be the best shape of my life, and it is largely thanks to Dr. Clohisy’s PAO procedures which gave me functioning hip joints. I went from not being able to run without intense pain to being able to run 7 minute miles and playing competitive ultimate frisbee and disc golf on a daily basis.
In October, my wife and I participated in an adventure race which required that we run, swim, bike, kayak and climb rocks for over 17 miles. We had the fastest time in the race by a few minutes! If I could give any advice to anyone considering this surgery, it would be to make sure you stick to your physical therapy post-surgery and commit yourself to your doctor-recommended program for recovery. I am doing hip mobility movements and strengthening exercises every day without fail– this has been so key to my complete recovery. I am so happy to be able to participate in athletic events and competitions since my procedures and am so grateful for the wonderful work of Dr. Clohisy and his team! Thank you for everything!
