Arnold Schwarzenegger Raves About Girlfriend Heather Milligan’s Amazing Qualities: “Not Only My Girlfriend but She’s Also a…”

76-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger and his physical therapist girlfriend, Heather Milligan, made a rare appearance together on camera. In a bid to help his Pump Club members, Schwarzenegger spoke to an expert about joint health. However, the 76-year-old didn’t pass up the opportunity to praise the renowned founder of Elite OrthoSport. 

While the Austrian Oak has spoken about Heather Milligan’s success in the field many times, he couldn’t help but rave about the 49-year-old yet again. However, after the flattering introduction, the couple got down to business, as Milligan gave multiple tips to improve joint health and strength. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger turns interviewer

The Hollywood action icon often finds himself as the guest. However, this time Arnie walked in the proverbial shoes of the interviewer. Schwarzenegger introduced the 49-year-old as “not only my girlfriend but she’s also a great if not the best physical therapist in the world…” The bodybuilding legend followed it up with a quick recap of how the couple met when Milligan helped Arnie heal post-shoulder surgery.

The Terminator asked Milligan that while many people complain about joint issues, knee issues are the most common. “What do people do?” when they suffer knee pain while or after doing lunges, squats, or even taking the stairs, asked the Austrian Oak. Milligan advises that people should “break down” their approach toward such exercises by asking themselves a few questions.

Milligan said people should ask themselves, “Do I have the motion to do those exercises, and have I warmed up appropriately?” After rehabbing thousands of athletes throughout her career, the Elite Ortho Sports founder explained that every athlete begins with a warmup to get their blood flowing, and so should you.

Following a warmup, a person needs to test if their mobility and strength level allow them to perform the exercise pain-free. If a workout hurts your joints, then Milligan advised you to do alternate versions to develop the strength and mobility of exercises like lunges, squats, and more. Hence, the Terminator has a world-class fitness instructor right now. However, Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t just praise Milligan because they were together.

The vast clientele of Heather Milligan

Arnold Schwarzenegger grew up with sports, playing soccer and transitioning to bodybuilding. Heather Milligan did the same, growing up learning gymnastics before moving into physiotherapy. As a former athlete, the 49-year-old gained a first-hand perspective of how injuries happen and how complex they can become. Hence, the physiotherapist strived to excel in her field and founded her own clinic.

Now a veteran of her field, Milligan’s credentials are among the best in the world. She has treated athletes from multiple sports, including the NFL, NBA, UFC, and more. When MMA superstar Connor McGregor broke his shin bone in 2021, he came to Milligan for rehabilitation. Moreover, Schwarzenegger and McGregor even met at the clinic during a session.
