Hip Replacements

Hip replacement, or hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or worn-out hip joint with an artificial joint made of metal, plastic, or ceramic components. This procedure is commonly recommended to relieve pain and improve mobility in cases of severe arthritis, injury, or other hip conditions.

                Self Management Pre/Post Hip Replacement

• • Prehab: Optimise your health before surgery, start strength exercises, mobilising your muscles. 
  • Massage: Self Massage to keep the muscles loose and increase the blood flow, keeping them long and strong will help reduce muscle atrophy whilst waiting for surgery
  • Rehab: Engage actively in post-surgery rehabilitation, including specific exercises with measurable achievements. There is no reason why you cannot regain strength and mobility if you stay focused in this stage of your hip replacement journey.
