Hello,
Yes, the instaflex joint support will help for hip arthritis but also the importance has to be given to strengthening the muscles. Some flexibility exercise. Some range of motion exercises.
You can contact a physiotherapist who can help your father and put him under the geriatric rehabilitation program.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most patients with OA hip are responded well to physiotherapy along with medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
