Exercising to Prepare for Hip Replacement
Did you know that exercising before a hip replacement surgery can lessen your post-op pain and recovery time?
Many patients needing hip replacement surgery become much less active due to pain and discomfort. This means your muscles will be weaker and less supportive, which can affect post-surgery healing.
That's why we recommend starting an exercise program before your surgery.
Benefits of Exercising Before Hip Replacement Surgery
Performing consistent, general exercise up until the week of your surgery has many benefits:
- Increased blood flow - Exercise increases blood flow to the affected region
- Build strength - Increases the strength needed to support the affected joint
- Less pain and discomfort - Experience less post-surgery pain and discomfort
- Reduce long-term effects of surgery - You'll heal quicker and reduce the potential for long-term effects of hip replacement surgery.
- Reduced rehabilitation time - get back to a better quality of life sooner.
We've helped countless patients prepare for hip-replacement surgery with our guided exercise program.
Post-Operative Hip Replacement Exercise Program
While we almost always recommend starting an exercise program before your hip replacement surgery, post-surgery exercise is just as important.
After you've finished your doctor-prescribed physical therapy program, you can continue your rehabilitation journey here at Moving With H.O.P.E.
We've seen many patients who still need help building strength in their hips even after physical therapy. Our recovery programs are some of the most aggressive in the entire country, but we help patients get real results!

How Long Does it Take for Muscles to Heal After a Hip Replacement?
In general, studies have shown that it can take up to two years for your muscles to fully heal after hip replacement surgery.
However, this lengthy healing process can be caused by patients who stop doing proper exercises after only a few months. They either think they've improved as much as possible or are frustrated after seeing slow results.
Consistent, targeted exercise will help you rebuild muscle strength and stability.
We're here to join you on your journey to recovery and mobility. We want to see you succeed and get back to your daily life!
