“I was barely able to walk very far or climb stairs” “I learned I had arthritis in my hips the hard way. I was barely able to walk very far or climb stairs. The stretching and strengthening exercises I learned to do at Priority Physical Therapy have helped me get the mobility to carry on with my usual activities. I will continue those exercises at home to maintain activity at the current level.”
