Advice on hip physio classes
Posted , 9 users are following.
hi I am 2 weeks post op and am managing my first excercises easily. I have been given no follow up sessions at all other than the 6 week check with the surgeon. I keep hearing on this site about hydrotherapy and hip classes and wonder how to access this kind of thing. I am in edinburgh Scotland.

Like you, I have not been given any physio, post op. I have searched on line for physio and exercises for THR. here are some 'interesting' sites, but there are also some videos and booklets by NHS hospitals which have proved invaluable.
I shall follow this thread with great interest - thank you for posting it.

please do not start any physio till you are cleared to do so by your surgeon you will do more harm than good.

if you feel you need physio your GP can book you some sessions. I would advise doing this ASAP because if you can't persuade your surgeon to do it it you may be waiting a while longer than if your surgeon booked you in. Maybe you could have a word at your 6 week check.

Another fellow hippie (I'm sorry, I don't remember who) recently mentioned a free app for your phone/tablet called Pocket Physio. I downloaded it yesterday and it looks fine for me. It gives a range of exercises to do depending on what stage post op you are. As Michael mentioned, there is a lot of info out there especially NHS guidance.
I also left hospital with an A4 sheet of exercises and no follow up appt. My 6 week appt is next week so I'll post again with updates.
