Thank you for your helpful note and your experience today is so interesting and encouraging.
My surgery and PT was in St Augustine, Florida and we’re no longer in the area. My husband and I live in a small motor home and travel every few months to volunteer at state parks in SC, GA, and FL so I don’t have access to therapy equipment. I do the step ups on a stool and am blessed to have beautiful surroundings on my walks.
I so appreciate your input!

I'm glad you are able to travel again. The best therapy equipment is what's on hand. I finished rehab on my last hip replacement while living for the winter in a camper in South Texas. I used sturdy straps, the steps on the camper, ankle weights, resistance bands and the walking paths and (swimming pools) where we stayed. My current (pain) PT makes sure all of my exercises can be done just as simply. No fancy equipment for this girl.
