Top 5 Exercises For Total...

Exercises are an important part of managing total hip replacement (THR) and promoting proper healing. Physiotherapy exercises, such as range-of-motion exercises, muscle strengthening exercises, and balance exercises, are typically recommended after a THR to help improve mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future complications. It's important to consult with a physical therapist or your doctor for a personalized exercise plan that fits your specific needs and progress.

• Lie down on the bed.
• Raise both feet and point your toes away from your body.
• Move only your feet and keep your legs on the bed.

• Sitting up straight in a chair, bend your symptomatic knee, pulling your heel back under the chair.

• Start in a seated position with your legs stretched out in front of you with a towel under your affected knee.
• Keep your toes upwards and extend your knee by tightening your thigh muscles.

• Lie on your front with your head relaxed on a pillow.
• Tighten your buttock muscles pushing your pelvis in to the bed.
• Relax your buttocks and your pelvis between repetitions.

• Stand behind a chair or table and place your hands onto the back rest.
• Keeping your back straight, bend both knees into a semi-squatting position, allowing your hands to slide forwards.
• Your hips should travel backwards as you counterbalance by leaning your chest forwards.
• Push through your buttock and thigh muscles as you return to standing, and repeat.

By incorporating these exercises into your daily routine, along with maintaining good posture and being mindful of your movements, you can help alleviate pain and improve your overall condition. Remember to always consult with a physiotherapist before starting any new exercise regimen, particularly if you have a specific injury or condition.
