Treatment Options for Hip Pain

Samuel Gubins

Following successful hip replacement, I benefited from excellent physical therapy under the care of Jeff Varghese. When that concluded, I began training with Matt Accetta, an exercise physiologist. The weekly sessions with Matt have been enormously helpful in meeting my mobility goals, while the hour a week experience has been exhilarating. I leave each session on a high and it carries over to the exercises I do at home. I especially appreciate Matt’s measured approach to my exercise routines, as he understands that I’m 82 when I’m itching to exercise as if I were 42. Matt keeps me from folly, and I can see the steady progress. I plan on continuing with Matt indefinitely and I appreciate both his professionalism and warm personality. Thank you Matt, and thank you to the exceptional HSS team.
