Great channel, congrats! I was searching for exercises after weight loss, to firm up a little. I am 61 just had my hip replaced last year and I have degenerative scoliosis due to arthritis. I move around well, but I understand I may have to have a fusion which I’m trying to avoid. Would your exercises be safe for me…considering the new hip? Thank you!

[@TSCConnect]

Thanks for following us! It really depends on how you’re body has adapted to the new hip (how much range of motion you have, how much the muscles were affected from surgery/recovery). It’s difficult to say without assessing you in person, I’d suggest that you see a physio close to you - perhaps show them a video you’d like to try and then ask if your body is ready for it. If you’re in doubt about the hip joint or have pain etc, please ask the surgeon directly.

Andrea, how abt doing a video on uneven hips?

[@TSCConnect]

Uneven hips in scoliosis can be due to many things - the scoliosis curve, leg length difference, pelvis joint issues, intervertebral disc issues, pain etc, so we can't do a video on how to treat that (but we could do a video explaining the above points in more detail!). For now, have you seen this KZbin short we made about pelvis shift? kzbin.infofgtojEelhRE?feature=share
