Physio & climber Andy McVittie shares the subtle signs that your hips (and maybe more) need attention — and why you shouldn’t write them off as “just getting older.”
We cover:
That “ooh” sound when standing — and why it’s a red flag if it’s new
Taking 2–3 seconds to straighten up — not normal, even in your 40s or 50s
Why cultural messages make us accept pain as inevitable
How to notice early mobility changes before they become bigger problems
The hip rotation self-check anyone can do at home
💡 Key takeaway: Discomfort isn’t just part of aging — it’s a signal. If something’s changed, don’t ignore it.
🎧 This is just one part of our 3-part deep dive with Andy on staying strong, mobile, and confident well into later decades.
