GOLDEN TIMES

When a surgeon replaces your hip joint during hip replacement surgery, you’re only part of the way toward your goal of relieving your hip pain. The next step is to restore range of motion in the joint and build a strong, sturdy support system for your new joint by strengthening your leg Levi Frasier, PT muscles. That’s where physical therapy comes in. Be careful with instruction for self management following surgery which may result in persistent hip joint pain or stiffness. Walking may be more difficult, and you may walk with a limp due to pain. Physical therapy can help you with symptoms of joint stiffness, and help you strengthen and stretch the hip. When you are healing from any surgery, it is vital to restore mobility to limit pain and stiffness. Generally there is a window of time in which to restore mobility after your replacement-sometimes within a few weeks. In order to allow full participation in activity after replacement, range of motion needs to be restored to the fullest extent within guidelines known by your rehab team. You may also learn to use a cane or other device to limit the amount of limping or pain that you have with movement. You will learn how to keep your hips healthy with a home exercise program that will be specifically designed to meet your goals. Hip mobility and strength are vital in restoring the natural balance of our system to allow for proper core stability and knee stability further influencing our ability to function normally in our environment. Without professional guidance regarding progression of exercise and modification of activity you may not be able to meet your maximum potential. Contact the professional staff at the Institute of Physical therapy for an appointment so we can assist in your rehabilitation following total hip arthroplasty.

Interlink is a 37-year-old orgaInterlink office will be moving to the nization which helps seniors and Valley Community Center in Clarkston After more than 20 years of having office space in downtown Clarkston, service agency Interlink will be moving its office a few blocks away to a suite in the Valley Community Center at 549 Fifth St. this month.

The center “made us an offer we couldn’t refuse,” said Interlink Executive Director Mark Havens. He said the move is expected to allow for an upgrade in the nonprofit volunteer group’s telecommunication services, and plans also call for increased office hours soon after the move is complete.

Because Interlink serves senior citizens, another benefit of the move is the office will be in the same building where the Senior Lunch Program operates. (Before the COVID-19 pandemic, lunches were served three days a week at Valley Community Center. Lunches currently are still available by pickup only; find an update in the feature story on Page 6).

Alzheimer’s and dementia education classes set for this month The Alzheimer’s Association will present four online education opportunities on Tuesdays this month. The classes are for dementia sufferers, their caregivers and their loved ones this month.

Learning opportunities focus on memory loss, caregiving, communication and more; specific class details are below.

Additional information is available by contacting P.J. Christo at pchristo@alz.org or (208) 6662996. The Alzheimer’s Association also has a 24-hour helpline at (800) 272-3900. ï Ten Warning Signs — Noon to

As

the coronavirus pandemic wears on, more senior meals are being delivered throughout the region, but eating in-person is still preferred, officials said.

Chrystal Wiese, the Senior Round Table site di-

rector in Clarkston, said all of her clients are looking forward to the day they can once again gather together to share a meal.

“Everyone wants to know when we can reopen,” Wiese said. “They really miss eating together

at the meal site.”

Site managers in Washington and Idaho are hoping to get that green light this month, but say it will depend on the COVID-19 numbers, along with each state and counties’ reopening phases.
