Pre hip replacement surgery excersises

Posted by grandmother2 @grandmother2, Feb 27 4:23pm

I'm having right hip replacement in 3 weeks (Anterior approach). Are there any exercises that I can do prior to surgery that may help?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

My surgeon gave me a book with exercises. I also attended a joint class. Check with your Physical therapy/ doctor. The better shape you are in pre surgery will improve surgical outcome.
If in alot of pain, walk in a swimming pool
Good luck. Hip surgery has a very high success rate (95%)
