That moving without pain has been unintentionally self learned by me. I know I look "funny" getting up from sitting, getting in and out of a car etc. I autmatically go into "very apprehensive" mode say getting in and out of my truck and especially someone else's car that is low to the ground. I use my arms and shoulders a bunch to help me up and down. I walk with purpose and direction all while thinking how the whole skeleton is moving. Never planned on any of this just a survival thing I guess.

So much good luck to you on recovery and improvement!
