Description
Knees and hips need to be aligned to protect their shock absorbing cartilage. If a tight muscle pulls a bone out of the ideal position you can experience grinding in a joint, like what happens with a mortar and pestle.Your muscles steer your bones like reins guiding a horse so you want them to be SMART, meaning strong AND relaxed. This program retrains the muscle memory of the major muscles that control your leg bones to improve joint alignment, reduce pain and enhance performance.This 2 week course is especially good for hip and knee pain stemming from arthritis, ligament or cartilage tears or if you simply feel weak or tight in your hips, knees or lower back. It only takes a 10-minute commitment per day and because you own the material for life, you can go at your own pace.You'll learn how to effectively contract and relax your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, IT bands, inner thigh/groins and calves. This will help you fully recover from knee or hip surgery and perhaps help you avoid surgery. If you have had surgery recently, please arrange to have a visit with me prior to starting the program so we can review safety ideas. We can meet in person or through a virtual visit.Go slow, pay attention to what your body is trying to tell you and have fun!

Who this course is for
The participant wants to resolve pain or limitation in the hip, knee or lower back
