Dr. Steven B. Haas, knee surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, states, "the number of patients in their 50's coming into my office asking for joint replacement is higher than ever." He continues, "Joint replacement use to be about doing the things you needed to do- literally, being able to walk. Now, younger patients are coming and saying, " want to continue playing tennis, skiing, golfing, or coaching little league and don't want to be sidelined by pain or disability."
As fitness professionals, are we ready to assist in post rehabilitation for these baby boomers? We need to be as the number of this age continues to climb. Be prepared!!
