What exercises help recovery & strength after hip replacement?

@oregonjan Yay! Doesn't it feel great to be actually doing something that will help regain your mobility. I have a new first question for all ortho surgeons now. "What is your view of post-surgical PT?" If they are ho-hum or negative, I find a different doc! After 11 surgeries for ortho issues, almost all due to arthritis, I have concluded that the operation is just ONE STEP in the process, and proper PT and exercise are just as critical to a successful outcome. Keep us posted on your progress. And ice after exercise will help keep you going.

Right you are about insisting on PT. Unfortunately with my HMO I had no other choice of surgeon within 50 miles. But when/if I have CMC joints fixed I'll insist on PT afterwards. (That would be a different ortho surgeon). Meanwhile, I'm optimistic!
