After an injury or surgery, an exercise conditioning program will help you return to daily activities and enjoy a more active, healthy lifestyle
Following a well-structured conditioning program will also help you return to sports and other recreational activities.
Strength:
Strengthening the muscles that support your hip will help keep your hip joint stable. Keeping these muscles strong can relieve pain and prevent further injury.
Flexibility:
