Two Hips Replaced, But Runner's High Still Attainable!

“You don’t have to live like this…  For me, I’m so happy to be able to be active again.  I can get that runner’s high, that euphoric feeling, in the water” – Jude McCarthy, Guest Services Coordinator, Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa

You’d never know it, but Jude McCarthy has had two hip replacements… all before the age of 50.

The Guest Services Coordinator at the prestigious Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa, Tuczon, Arizona, Jude was experiencing increasing pain.  Eventually, he went to a doctor only to discover he had no cartilage in either hip.

Fortunately, Jude’s employer has a HydroWorx pool on site.  The HydroWorx has allowed Jude to run due to the buoyancy of the water.
