5.0 out of 5 stars A ray of light for people who suffer with hip problems., 3 Dec 2004
By lisa poole (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book has been an absolute godsend to me! Having experienced a constant pain in my hip for the last year due to arthritis, I have found this book inspirational.

This book has provided me with the opportunity to educate myself about my condition and has empowered me to 'heal' myself with a comprehensive exercise plan which really does work... I am experiencing far less pain in my hip now and the pain I do have is much more manageable.

The author Robert Klapper, who is an experienced orthopaedic surgeon in his own right, is extremely positive in his outlook and this continues throughout the entire book. It is due to this positivity that I would recommend anyone who has a hip condition to buy this book. Having myself had experience of an unhelpful orthopaedic doctor, this book has provided me with the means to educate myself and to manage my condition really well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diagnosed with hip dysplasia, 11 Dec 2005
This is an interesting read.

It is aimed at how to prevent surgery. Unfortunately I will definately be having surgery but I think I will take it along to my hydrotherapist for her views on the specific exercises they recommend.

Written by a MD and a pool trainer this a good read with land and pool exercises.
