Overview

Hip osteoarthritis is a common condition that causes pain, difficulty with movement, and reduced quality of life. Early treatment typically involves a combination of non-medication and medication approaches. Studies have shown that exercise therapy is beneficial, and some studies suggest that a hip school (patient education) and manual therapy are also promising interventions, potentially even more effective than exercise alone.
