I had a lot of pain in my lumbar spine, both my knees and my hips. I was told that this was due to a variety factors, including arthritis. My mobility was very compromised and I was unable to use NSAIDs or pain killers at all. With the assistance of the South Calgary Primary Care kinesiologist I was given a series of exercises to do and as well was entered in the Glad: Knees and Hips program. My mobility increased, my pain lessened, my physical strength increased. I was booked to be assessed by a knee replacement surgeon. They determined that I was able to self manage my joints through exercise and did not require a knee replacement.
