Customer Rating: Summary: hip surgery or not Comment: This book is very informative and can help a prospective hip surgery patient decide about his or her options. It is very helpful. I had hip surgery over 15 years ago; and I am hopeful about the new treatments today. I can say from personal experience, the exercises are critical to walking with ease whether you have surgery or not. Customer Rating: Summary: Heal Your Hips Comment: October 6, 2007 My nephew who is an MD/PhD and specializes in joints and their movement recommended this book to me. It is fantastic and I am very glad that I read it before my upcoming total hip replacement. The information is medically solid, clearly written, and easy to follow. The book will be just as valuable after my surgery as before and should help in my recovery. One of the most important, common-sense pieces of information in the book concerns excess weight and the impact on joints. Whether you are having hip problems or you wish to avoid future problems this is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.
