We have the following tip in the Recovery Guidelines we give to members:
BIG TIP: Hips actually don't need any exercise to get better. They do a pretty good job of it all on their own if given half a chance. Trouble is, people
don't give them a chance and end up with all sorts of aches and pains and sore spots. All they need is the best therapy which is walking and even then
not to excess.
PT can be useful if it is appropriate PT, but sometimes, depending on the therapist you get, it isn’t always appropriate for your recovery. They all have differing opinions about what you should do. This is why we tell members to listen to their body, as it is the boss of this recovery, and if any exercise causes pain during or after you do it, then your particular hip is not ready for that exercise.
You’re right, not all surgeons send their patients to PT, some surgeons are very confident that just walking is all you need, and their patients do very well.
By the way, I merged your newest thread with your original recovery thread, as we prefer that members in recovery have only one thread.
This benefits you because all your information is in one place, easy to find, and maintains a nice journal for you.
This also benefits our staff, as your information is all in one place, and we often go back through your thread for previous details, so we know what you‘ve been through which helps us advise you better.
So, please keep all your posts in this thread. If you’d like a new title, let us know what you want, and we’ll change it for you.
Many members bookmark their thread in their computer browser, so they can find it when they log on.
How can I find my threads and posts?
Best wishes on your continuing recovery!
