Hip Replacement Exercise Program

Physical therapy for hip replacement generally continues after patients go home from the hospital until they are able to function more independently. Total rehabilitation after surgery will take at least 6 months. Patients will have an exercise program to follow when they go home, even if they are still having physical therapy. Patients should also take a short walk several times each day. If they notice any soreness, they should try a cold pack on their hip and perhaps decrease their activity a bit, but not stop completely. Staying with their walking and exercise program will help speed their recovery.
