Might want to have some imaging done to determine the nature of the problem. If it's just straight old age creaky joints or stiff muscles that's one thing, but if it's local inflammation or an injury it may change how you attempt to treat it. A lot of folks think being imaged means surgery, but that's not the case these days. A good image can help inform what specific PT or treatment you might need.

Edit: I hope I'm still surfing at your age, Im 51 now. A couple years ago I had some issues that I thought might end my surfing career, but I overcame them with some simple non-intrusive steps that started with an x-ray. Don't let this stop you!
