But it always comes back.\nWalking, climbing stairs, squatting down—activities that used to be effortless now send sharp reminders through your hip or knee. You rest, it improves. Then one wrong move and you're back to square one.\nHere's what's really happening: Your hip and knee pain isn't caused by a weak joint or \"arthritis\" (even if that's what you've been told). It's caused by faulty walking mechanics and pelvic muscle dysfunction that quietly overload your joints with every step you take.\nIn Fixing You: Hip \u0026amp; Knee Pain, award-winning orthopedic physical therapist Rick Olderman reveals why traditional treatments fail—and shows you exactly how to identify and correct the movement problems creating your pain.\nThis book is for you if you have: Hip bursitis or IT band syndrome Anterior knee pain (runner's knee\/patellofemoral syndrome) Deep hip pain, clicking, or labral irritation Chronic hamstring strains that won't heal SI joint pain or pelvic dysfunction Knee tracking problems or instability Pain during walking, stairs, squatting, or standing\nWhat you'll discover: Why weak gluteal muscles are the hidden culprit behind most hip and knee pain How your walking pattern creates the forces that damage your joints Simple tests to identify YOUR specific pelvic muscle dysfunction Why the \"big three hip flexors\" (TFL, rectus femoris, sartorius) control knee tracking and hip joint stress How to retrain your body during everyday movements—walking, sitting, standing, sleeping\n Bonus: Every exercise comes with video demonstrations. Enter the code inside at www.rickolderman.com and follow along with Rick step-by-step.\nWhy does everyone give you the same advice?\nStretch your hip flexors. Strengthen your glutes. Foam roll your IT band. Rest and ice. Maybe helpful short-term—but they don't work for chronic pain because they treat isolated muscles, not movement patterns.\nYour hip or knee pain follows a pattern created by how you walk, stand, and move. Every step reinforces the dysfunction. Fix the pattern—especially your pelvic muscle coordination and walking mechanics—and the joint can finally heal.\nReal stories from real clients:\nThroughout the book, you'll follow Gary's gliding femur, Lara's lagging leg, Byron's bad knees, and Carol's collapsing knee—real cases showing exactly how correcting pelvic muscle function and walking mechanics eliminated years of chronic pain.\nThis approach works even if: You've had pain for months or years Physical therapy provided only temporary relief You've been told you have arthritis, a labral tear, or \"bone-on-bone\" X-rays or MRIs show damage but treatments aren't working You're worried surgery might be your only option\nAfter 30 years of clinical practice, Rick has helped thousands escape the cycle of chronic joint pain. If you've been told \"it's just wear and tear\" or \"you'll need to live with it,\" this book will show you there's another way.\nYour hip and knee pain has a pattern. This book will help you break it.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0982193726\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0982193726.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rick Olderman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
