@vickiekay

I have severe rheumatoid arthritis that has included bilateral knee replacements. I also have spinal scoliosis that begins at L2 and have lots of degeneration in my entire spine that includes a laminectomy and discectomy at L4-L5. My gait is 'off' as well in part because I have such deformed feet from the RA. My hip x-rays show that I "only" have "hip dysplasia" and I have a great deal of extreme 'tightness' in both hips. I am wondering if there is anything to "DO" about my hip pain/tightness. I am currently undergoing Rolfing treatments. Pain meds do not take it and it has really affected my mobility to the point that I need a small electric scooter to get very far as I am unable to walk distances. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi Janet, I think I found the book that @shbertrand recommended.
"Cure Tight Hips Anywhere: Open Locked Up Hips and Pelvis Anytime, Anywhere" by Sean Schniederjan http://amzn.to/2pJoVNk
