“I had a hip replacement. What can I do to improve my activity level?”
I had to have a hip replacement surgery, and even two months after it, I haven't really been doing much. I would like to be a little more active. How should I start getting more activity throughout my routine?

Physical therapy is a great way to start. Your therapist will help you develop a program to help you achieve this goal of more activity.
I would recommend working with a therapist to help improve your mobility and increase your activity level at a pace that is comfortable for you. Your surgeon should be able to recommend a provider for you.
You must have rehab, which might consist of physiotherapy 2/3 times a week. If you are unable to attend a clinic, you must get the exercises to do at home. It is imperative you get moving, but in the right direction. Please do get these exercises as soon as you can and be diligent in doing them every day. We become very complacent about surgery these days. In my opinion, it is major surgery. It is not always a walk in the park. The most common reason for such surgery is usually severe pain and I do hope you are feeling better, but please don’t forget to do your specific exercises. Attend an out-patient clinic to be shown how to do the exercises and have a follow-up to make sure your new hip is performing in excellent shape.
Hi, thanks for your questions.
First of all, many patients who have hip arthritis also have tendonitis and lateral hip pain, which restricts their daily activities. Replacing a new joint did not repair your torn ligament, which can be very painful while you walk or stand.
Regenerative therapy can help your body to heal those torn ligaments, such as prolotherapy and platelet rich plasma injections in an Integrative Medical pain Clinic.
