HIP Osteoarthritis CAN be Cured: Treating OA with Physical Therapy

Drawing on the latest research and guidelines on arthritis diagnosis and care published by one of the world's leading health bodies, this essential resource explodes long-standing myths surrounding osteoarthritis in general, and hip OA in particular. It explores the role of muscle imbalance in OA symptoms and reveals that with appropriate self-administered physiotherapy, your prognosis can be far brighter than you ever imagined.

Chapter by chapter you will learn:

• how easily OA can be (mis)diagnosed;
• what a muscle imbalance is and how it can develop;
• how complex muscle imbalances are responsible for many OA symptoms;
• how to determine what pattern of muscle imbalance you have.

The final section of the book includes a self-help guide for treating patterns of muscle imbalance that are common in osteoarthritis, developed by the author as a result of her own, successful battle with hip OA.

Please note that this book isn't a quick fix; it's aimed at those who are prepared to treat their condition themselves through diligent physiotherapy.
