Why Physical Therapy Is So Important After Hip Surgery

After hip surgery, the following are common:

  • limited mobility
  • reduced muscle strength
  • Uncertainty under stress
  • Changes in movement patterns

The physical therapy at REHFABRIK helps address these limitations in a targeted manner.

Physiotherapy at REHFABRIK can assist you with this:

  • Restore mobility
  • Strengthen the muscles around the hips
  • Improving stability and control
  • To reduce pain
  • Optimizing posture and movement execution

A structured rehabilitation program helps build up the muscles around the hip joint and gradually restore mobility. The goal is for you to be able to move confidently again and for your body to become stronger. #youractivecomeback

When can I put my usual weight on my hip again or return to my favorite activity?

Rehabilitation following hip surgery takes place in several phases:

Phase 1

Protected mobilization

After the operation, the initial focus is on pain-reduced mobilization.
The aim of this phase is to protect the healing tissue, gradually improve shoulder mobility, activate the surrounding muscles, and reduce swelling and pain. Passive movements and gentle activation exercises are used to carefully improve joint mobility after the initial rest phase.

Phase 2

Regain mobility

Once your hip becomes more stable, the active phase of physical therapy begins. The main goals are to reduce pain, carefully improve hip mobility, and begin to activate the muscles. Light exercises help your body get used to moving again.

Phase 3

Stability and muscle building

Once your hip becomes significantly stronger, the focus shifts to targeted muscle building. The emphasis is on strengthening the hip and gluteal muscles, improving joint stability, and building endurance for everyday activities. Building muscle after hip surgery plays a key role in successful rehabilitation and stable joint function.

Phase 4

Back to your favorite activity

During this phase, the training becomes more functional. Depending on your personal goals, the training may include: dynamic movement exercises, stability training under load, coordination and balance exercises, and a gradual return to physical activity. The goal is for you to be able to move confidently, powerfully, and with trust in your body once again.
