Rehab After Hip Replacement

Following a total hip replacement, physical therapy plays a central role in restoring range of motion, rebuilding strength in the surrounding muscles, and helping patients safely return to walking and daily activities, with treatment progressing in stages as healing allows.

Strengthening to Address Pinching Hip Pain

For femoroacetabular hip impingement, often described as a pinching anterior hip pain, treatment goes beyond a standard hip-strengthening protocol, incorporating additional manual and exercise-based strategies aimed at addressing the specific mechanics contributing to the impingement.

Looking Beyond the Hip Itself

Hip and low back pain are closely connected, and research has examined whether treating the hip directly improves low back pain outcomes – a reminder that an effective plan of care often considers the relationship between the hip, pelvis, and spine rather than treating the hip in isolation.

Your Physical Therapy Appointment

What to Expect at Your First Visit

A licensed physical therapist will complete a one-on-one evaluation, including a subjective interview and an objective movement exam, to understand the source of your hip pain. From there, a personalized plan of care is developed, with most patients attending two to three visits per week over a four-to-six-week course of treatment, with progress reassessed along the way.
