Sodium Hypophosphite to HYPOPHOSPHOROUS ACID

How do you get HYPOPHOSPHOROUS ACID from Sodium Hypophosphite. Do you just add muriatic acid (37% Solution) to Sodium Hyphosphite (powder) ratio of 50/50. Then distill it. If this is correct which is the acid? The mixture that was boiled or what was condensed into the other container.
