From the Worldwide Best-Selling Treat Your Own Series, this Book offers Education and Self-Treatment Techniques to Help You Get Better and Stay Better

Hip pain affects our ability to perform daily tasks like putting on socks or shoes, and our ability to move naturally―to get up from sitting and get in and out of the car. Going up and down stairs becomes difficult; and some people develop a limp, which causes pain in other areas as the body tries to compensate. This type of pain is often diagnosed by health professionals as hip arthritis, or ‘osteoarthritis’.

Common treatments including medications, injections, surgery, acupuncture, or electrical modalities such as ultrasound, TENS and interferential therapy may provide short-term benefits, but the pain often reappears. If you are one of the millions of people struggling with hip pain, you are seeking more than temporary hip pain relief. This book provides education, a systematic exercise sequence, and recommendations for lifestyle habits that can help you abolish pain and, where appropriate, regain full mobility and strength in the hip or as much movement as possible under the given circumstances.

Written by physiotherapist Robin McKenzie, Treat Your Own Hip provides a rational explanation for the causes of hip pain. You’ll gain an understanding of how the hip works and what causes hip pain. You’ll then be introduced to the McKenzie Method®, which is a series of progressive exercises that you can do to self-treat pain and help prevent recurrence. This exercise program includes details on when to perform exercises, how to determine if you’re ready to move on to the next exercise, how to perform the exercises correctly, what to do when the pain has subsided, and how to prevent recurrence of pain. You’ll also receive information about lifestyle habits for optimal hip care.

In Treat Your Own Hip you’ll learn:

The problem with MRI resultsMyths about hip painHow to determine if your pain is coming from your hip or low backThe basic anatomy of the hip regionThe functions of the hipThe basics of mechanical hip pain and how tissue damage occursCommon causes of hip pain and how to manage itHow the McKenzie Method worksA simple exercise sequence that offers a systematic approach to treating hip painColor photos and details showing when and how to perform the exercisesAcute management and prevention of pain recurrenceLifestyle habits to help treat and prevent hip pain

Author and McKenzie Method Founder, Robin McKenzie

After discovering a new way to treat back pain, the late Robin McKenzie, a New Zealand physiotherapist, devoted the next 40 years to developing a system of examination and treatment for non-specific spinal mechanical pain. In 1968, Robin and his wife Joy sewed their first lumbar roll at the kitchen table, and in 1980 Robin’s first book Treat Your Own Back was published. Celebrated for his contributions to the physiotherapy profession, Robin is recognized internationally.
