I'm thinking I should just do SS NLP, but wanted to check with you all to see if anyone has trained anyone with this type of injury.
Should I make any modifications to the NLP or just go ahead with it as prescribed? Not if you don't have to.
Anything I should be looking for as I progress that would be a cause for concern? If you get a diagnosis of "severe osteoarthritis" you most likely will not be able to squat normally without a total hip arthroplasty.
Should I even bother with PT from a provider that doesn't specialize in strength training? They may be of some benefit. I wouldn't take weight lifting advice from a PT, though.
Have done SS NLP for periods of time in the past but have not trained regularly in over a year.
