A Study to Examine the Effectiveness of Osteopathic Treatment for People with Osteoarthritis of the Hip (Auckland-based research)

You are invited to participate in a research investigation of osteopathic treatment of osteoarthritic hips.

Tony Howat is a Masters Student in Osteopathy at Unitec New Zealand (Mt Albert Campus). He is supervised by Dr Craig Hilton (Health Researcher) and Rob Moran (Osteopath) within the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences at Unitec New Zealand (Mt Albert campus).

The researchers are examining what effect osteopathic treatment may have in improving function, pain and disability in individuals with osteoarthritis of the hip. By participating in this study you will help us to determine whether osteopathy is useful in treating this common condition and whether a further, large study may be justified.
