It’s estimated that about 1 in 4 people will develop hip osteoarthritis in their lifetime. This happens when the cartilage in your hip joint gradually wears away over time, exposing the bone surfaces and causing them to rub against each other. Not fun.

What can I do during a long meeting, a long flight, or a long car ride to help make that transition from sitting to standing better?”
Heidi, you’re certainly not alone in the struggle!
In this shortie episode, I give you three concrete things you can do to help smooth that transition from long stretches of sitting to standing. And the BIG takeaway that will help ease the pain of hip osteoarthritis!
