Hip Dysplasia Rehabilitation
Strengthening musculature to support and stabilize the hip joints.
A congenital condition where the hip socket fails to fully cover the ball portion of the upper thighbone. Specialized targeted exercise regimens build gluteal and pelvic stabilization muscles, drastically reducing bone-on-bone friction.

Signs of Hip Dysplasia
- Bunny-hopping gait when running
- Narrow stance in hind legs
- Decreased hip joint flexibility
