Strengthen the abdominal muscles

A crucial factor is joint degeneration or rehabilitation is whether a joint is functioning within its correct range. The most common way to cause an imbalance is by not having the correct posture. The stomach muscles play a vital part in correct posture and a very common condition occurs, often where a degenerated hip joint can cause a chronically shortened iliopsoas muscle (runs from the lower back to the upper leg). this condition results in a posture where the hip joint is slightly flexed when standing. This is quite obvious from the side where it is the bottom poking out. A strong stomach does a lot to relieve or prevent this condition because the stomach is the opposing muscles and when they are strong they will force the correct allignment of the joint.
