Details.
Home physiotherapy for recovery after total hip replacement, hip resurfacing, hip fracture repair or hip arthroscopy. Treatment includes assessment, progressive rehabilitation exercises, safe mobility and transfers, gait and balance training, advice on hip precautions, and monitoring of pain, swelling, range of motion and recovery progress. Physiotherapists can begin within 48 hours of hospital discharge and tailor treatment to the surgery, home environment and recovery goals. Sessions use Physiolab cryotherapy and compression equipment where appropriate. The initial assessment lasts 50 to 60 minutes. Most total hip replacement patients require 6 to 12 sessions over the first 12 weeks, depending on progress.
