A hip replacement may change the joint—but maintaining mobility remains part of the journey.

I worked with this client before her surgery, helping her preserve strength, movement options and confidence going into the procedure. Her recovery went very well, and now our focus has shifted.

In this session, I’m looking at her available hip internal and external rotation—not to force more range, but to understand what her hip can access comfortably and safely.

Using gentle Fascial Stretch Therapy and FRC-informed techniques, we’re working to:

- Maintain the mobility she currently has
- Gradually build tissue tolerance around the hip
- Improve control within her available range
- Support the everyday movements that help her remain active and independent

Mobility work matters both before and after surgery—but the approach must reflect the individual, their stage of recovery and their medical guidance.

The goal isn’t to chase the biggest range.

It’s to help her use the range she has with greater comfort, control and confidence.

Rest is not something you have to earn.

We often think progress happens only when we lift, stretch farther, or push ourselves to do more. But the body also needs time to absorb the work.

Sometimes movement looks like lying down, slowing your breath and gently exploring what feels good—without trying to fix, force or accomplish anything.

This was my invitation to do less: a few quiet breaths with the tune-up balls at the base of my skull, gentle windshield wipers and a little space for my hips.

Rest supports recovery. It gives your nervous system an opportunity to settle and helps you return to movement with more capacity.

The question isn’t always, “What else should I do?”
Sometimes it’s: “What can I allow myself to receive?”

Save this as your reminder that rest is part of the practice and part of your progress.

If standing on one leg has started to feel less certain than it used to, it's easy to file that under getting older.

But balance isn't something you lose. It's something you train.

All three of these work the part of the core that helps stabilize it.

Holding tension through the breath as an arm and leg lower.
Resisting the pull of a weight held on one side.
Finding your balance with the eyes closed

Train the core to resist, and steadiness starts to build on its own.

Follow for part 2! Balance isn't something you lose with age. It's a skill you can relearn.

We tend to think steadiness means trying harder to stay upright.
But it's really about your systems learning to work together again.

Reach across your body in half kneeling, and your core and hips learn to control rotation as a team.

Pass a weight around one standing leg, and your foot and hip stabilize together, so uneven ground feels steadier.

Walk heel to toe like a tightrope, and your brain and lower body start to sync, sharpening that quiet sense of where you are in space.

Most women who find me have already tried everything - Physio, injections, stretches, years of doing the right things, and still waking up stiff.

Deborah was one of them. Her Osteopath referred her to me after she'd been cleared to move again. At that time, she didn't fully trust her body yet.

So we began with Fascial Stretch Therapy, then moved on to slow, deliberate movement - the kind where you feel what's happening instead of rushing through it.

What she noticed wasn't sudden strength.
It was that she finally started listening to her body.

If that sounds familiar, comment Elevate and I'll send you my functional movement toolkit.

Most women over 40 are told that if a stretch isn't working, they just need to stretch more.

But the first thing I check isn't flexibility, it's whether the tissue is still bracing.

Her calf was tender, gripping to protect, so instead of pushing into the stretch, we softened that tissue first.

Then we looked at her feet, where the toes had drawn in close, and spaced them back out to widen her base. Once the tissue let go, the stretch had room to work, and she left with less tension through her back.

Sometimes the stretch isn't step one.
Sometimes the body just needs to feel safe first.

If you've been stretching the same spots for years and they never quite loosen, I made a functional movement toolkit that starts where the stretching leaves off.

Most of us have gotten good at holding it together.

We carry the day in our shoulders, our jaw, the shallow top of our breath, long after the thing that put it there has passed.

On August 23 I'm joining Paige Rose () for a slow afternoon at Groove Barre, a few hours to set some of that down together.

We'll move through breathwork to settle the nervous system, a guided meditation on courage and coming back to yourself, myofascial release and self-massage to unwind what you've been holding, a few simple tools you can reach for anytime the overwhelm rises, and deep relaxation with crystal singing bowls.

Spaces are limited.

Most of the women I work with have been stretching for years and still wake up feeling stiff. They've been told it's just their age, that tightness is simply part of getting older, that this is how a body over 40 is supposed to feel now.

I've never seen it that way. When a body feels stuck, it usually isn't out of room. The tension is living deeper than a stretch can reach, in the connective tissue and in the way the body has quietly learned to hold itself.

That's what Fascial Stretch Therapy works with. You relax on the table while I move and gently traction your body, following your breath, noticing where you hold and where you let go, adjusting to what your body is telling me that day. Nothing forced, nothing rushed.

Most clients leave standing a little taller, breathing a little lower, moving like their body finally trusts them again. Turning, reaching, getting up from a chair, all of it a little freer.

If your body has been asking for something different, I'd love to help you find it. Comment “Elevate” for a movement guide you can start from

Every woman in this post came to me after trying something else first.
Physio. Acupuncture. Injections. Pain medication. Surgery recovery.

One was even referred to me by her own osteopath.
They were doing all the right things and still felt stuck, sore, or limited.

Here's what changed for them: instead of pushing harder, we slowed down and figured out what their body was actually asking for.

Susan learned her hip pain was really coming from her feet.

Another client, after months of sciatic pain, rebuilt her strength and now moves with real confidence. The fascia work helped her recover in a way nothing else had.

This is the work I do with women 40+. We stop fighting the body and start understanding it. You are not broken, and it is never too late to move better.

If any of this sounds like you, follow along, or comment the word ELEVATE and I'll show you where to start.
