Arnold Schwarzenegger showed off his workout routine recently with his physical therapist girlfriend Heather Milligan as they discussed avoiding joint injuries in a video for his Pump Club.
"Heather Milligan is not only my girlfriend, she’s also a great, if not the best, physical therapist in the world," the 76-year-old action star said as Milligan, 49, stood beside him in a video for his Pump Club YouTube channel last Friday.
"That’s actually how we met. She fixed my shoulder, but we’re not here to talk about our relationship, we’re talking here about physical therapy. And since she has been treating people, thousands of patients: football players, basketball players, UFC fighters, boxers, track and field athletes, young kids, old kids, anyone and everybody, I’m talking about thousands, she knows how to take care of joints."
The former bodybuilder admitted, "I’ve been having knee problems all my life from all the squatting and the skiing and bump skiing and running and jogging and stair climbing and all those kind of things. So, she’s the expert in that, so she can show you how to take care of knees."
