Let's set the stage.

Today we are looking at the story of BK – his life during and after the NFL, and how hip pain drastically affected his quality of life.
As personal trainers who specialize in working with people with hip pain, back pain, and shoulder pain, we get clients from all walks of life.
A lot of times we work with desk jockeys – the ubiquitous tech workers of Silicon Valley.
Sometimes we work with pro and former pro athletes. The athletes with pro experience are quite interesting because they give us an inside perspective on the inner workings of the big leagues.
