when i was in the first stages now this does cause dicomfort at first but work up to the final , have your patient sit on the table and try to sit indian style . when she or he achives this staying in said postion help them lay back knees up in the air.eventualy get her to push with her musles of knees down to table . i still try to do this i now cannot walk at all however the swelling is kept down and my hips are still limber. i hope this helps her stay limber that in my opion helps combat a lot of the pain with this deise. if you have any
