text: Aris Physical Therapy is as professional and efficient as it gets At age I have a diagnosis of advanced arthritis in my left hip My doctor told me that the only reason that I have good pain management and not overdue for a hip replacement is because I have done serious resistance training in the gym for the past years The muscles and tendons around the hip joint are strong Al and his team at Aris are working with me to increase range of motion and fine tune my lifting techniques to keep keep things strong to avoid surgery in the future The sessions are minutes and they are teaching me stretching and additional exercises that will help keep me pain free without drugs or surgery Al is an athlete himself knows his way around a gym and understands the exercises that I do and have available in the gym
