I am 7 weeks out from my left hip replacement. PT came to my house for two weeks, then I was prescribed outside PT for 8 weeks.
There seems to be a standard series of exercises done by PT for the hip. There is the risk that the PT will be too aggressive, which happened to me with one of my PTs, and you have to make sure to tell them if it hurts. It may be a little sore, but should not be painful especially while you are still healing. I had a “tight band “ and uneven leg length and they have helped with that. Walking is great, but PT helps with flexibility and other unique problems. It has been good for me.
