What can I do to avoid hip surgery when I get older?

Stretch Your Hips

Stretching tight hips may help you avoid hip replacement surgery. Chris Verna, in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Healthy Stretching, says some of his clients have had the symptoms, but, with a stretching program, did not have to have the surgery. There's no guarantee, but it's worth a try, and it will help you retain mobility.

I totally agree with this...... everyone at any age should stretch their hips. Gives a feeling of wellbeing and reduces pain.
