Webinars

If you're considering hip replacement surgery, it's important to understand the rehab and recovery process. Studies show that patients who actively participate in structured rehabilitation after hip replacement often regain mobility faster and experience less pain. Recovering from a hip replacement is a journey—one that requires the right care, guidance, and rehabilitation. Join PT Kurt Hutchinson of Illinois Bone & Joint Institute for an expert-led webinar on rehabilitation after a hip replacement, where we’ll cover what to expect post-surgery, essential rehab exercises, and tips for a smoother, more effective recovery. 

Kurt Hutchinson has been a physical therapist with Illinois Bone & Joint Institute since 2002. He has served as a staff therapist, facility manager, and now regional manager. Kurt has worked with athletes at all levels, from Little League to professional, in baseball, basketball, football, golf, and triathlon. He also specializes in hip, knee, foot, and ankle rehabilitation and orthotic fabrication, including work with athletes at Northwestern University. In recent years, he has focused on treating patients with chronic and persistent pain.

Shoulder pain is a frequent concern for aging athletes and active adults. While some discomfort can be expected with time, issues like rotator cuff tears, labrum injuries, arthritis, and impingement may require medical attention. Understanding what’s normal and what’s not is key to staying active and avoiding long-term damage. Join Dr. Djuro Petkovic to learn how to recognize common shoulder problems and explore the latest treatment options and recovery strategies.
