Physiotherapy After Hip Replacement
Rehabilitation is essential following hip replacement surgery to:
- Restore movement and flexibility
- Improve strength and stability
- Reduce pain and stiffness
- Improve walking and balance
- Support long-term joint function
A structured physiotherapy programme helps ensure the best possible outcome from your surgery.
Our Hip Replacement Rehab Approach
Your rehabilitation begins with a detailed assessment of your hip, mobility, strength, and current stage of recovery.
We then create a personalised plan which may include:
- Hands-on physiotherapy treatment
- Range of movement exercises
- Strength and stability training
- Gait (walking) re-education
- Functional rehabilitation for daily activities
Our approach is progressive, safe, and tailored to your recovery goals.

Early Stage (0–6 weeks)
- Reduce pain and swelling
- Restore basic mobility

Mid Stage (6–12 weeks)

- Increase walking distance
- Build confidence in movement
Later Stage (3+ months)

We guide you through each phase with clear progression.
