Harold Rosen enjoys watching football, investing in the stock market and playing with his dog, Ruby. Unfortunately, the flu hit hard last Christmas. It led to respiratory issues that landed him in and out of the hospital. Eventually, he lost strength, especially in his legs and back. He couldn't stand or walk and needed a mechanical lift to get into bed. And he certainly couldn't walk Ruby.

That's when Harold came to work with Physical Therapists Michelle Byrd and Madeline Devereux. He worked hard and made progress. Harold recently took his first steps since being hospitalized.

"Michelle and Madeline have inspired me to push harder to reach my goals," he said. "I'm feeling better and stronger. [I'm] looking forward to being able to go out for walks with my dog."

Your 30s are this great time where you're finally old enough to be taken seriously, but suddenly, everything starts to hurt, and your knee, hip or back cracks when you stand up.

Joint issues may already be settling in, especially if you have previous injuries, repetitive stress, obesity or are genetically predisposed.

Follow the advice of Physical Therapist Chris Hanson for a few exercises to keep your joints moving. If you don't take protective action, joint replacement surgery could be your future, but it doesn't have to be. Physical therapists can help you proactively start care for smooth sailing as you enter your 40s and 50s.
