Présentation de l'éditeur :

There is no long term cure for a hip injury other than exercising the muscles around the hip - even if other medical treatments, including surgery, are performed. This book offers a simple, straight-forward programme for stretching and strengthening muscles that control the hip so readers can finally become pain free. With easy-to-do stretches for increased flexibility and carefully designed weight training for increased strength, the "Healthy Hip Handbook" includes everything needed to turn a painful hip into a sturdy and strong joint capable of conquering the daily rigors of work and play. There is also a special section tailored for athletes who are looking to get back into the game. Designed for more than just rehab, this book also provides a complete program for maintaining healthy hips while preventing future injury.
