Hip Replacements & Movement Careers: What I Wish I Knew Before Surgery
Description
This episode is for anyone navigating the world of hip replacements—whether you’re a movement teacher facing surgery, a curious student, or a trainer working with post-op clients.
I share my own journey from hip arthroscopy to anterior hip replacement, and we’ll cover:
- How to know when it’s time to consider surgery
- Pre-surgery physical and mental prep
- The real recovery timeline and what surprised me
- Understanding the differences between anterior, posterior, lateral, and SuperPATH surgical approaches
- Finding a surgeon who understands your profession
- Adapting your practice and teaching afterward

📌 Why This Matters:
As movement professionals, we rely on our bodies—not just to work, but to teach through example. But when that body needs help, knowledge is power. This episode empowers you with perspective, practical tools, and maybe even a little courage.
