DOWNLOAD EBOOKDrawing 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.
