Maria

Even though Maria could only walk 5-8 meters at a time due to extreme pain, and standing was very difficult, she kept fit by following a strict routine of gym exercises. She was born with hip dysplasia (left hip) and over the years the right hip had deteriorated significantly. Both hips were replaced yesterday. Maria, age 46, learned about CAMTA through social media.

Maria, with physio aide Justine and physiotherapist Emily, is eager to do stairs.

Stairs are no obstacle for Maria and her two new hips.
