Improving Outcomes for Hip Osteoarthritis Through Education and Exercise Programs

This chapter explores the impact of arthritis diagnosis on individuals and the potential for improvement through education and exercise programs. It emphasizes how quality exercise interventions can reduce pain, improve quality of life, and potentially delay the need for hip replacement surgery. The discussion also delves into the importance of post-replacement rehabilitation, the benefits of strength training beyond muscle force, and the effectiveness of manual therapy as a complementary approach to managing hip osteoarthritis.
