There are different types of hip replacement surgery depending on the injury, the severity of the injury and the surgeon performing the procedure. This leaflet is to be used only a guideline once you have discussed and confirmed with your surgeon and medical team that the exercises below are appropriate for you following your surgery.
Hip injuries are common in all age groups. The most common cause of chronic (long-standing) hip pain in adults is osteoarthritis. Because the hip is such a complex joint, hip pain can be caused by many different things including: muscular injuries; ligament injuries; bursa injuries; cartilage tears; bone problems; fractures; reduced blood flow to the hip joint; or infection.
These exercises are recommended to help reduce pain, increase range of movement and strengthen the knee joint muscles and prevent future problems.
There are two main aims of physiotherapy for plantar fasciitis. The first is to control inflammation; the second is to stretch the muscles and connective tissue in the calf. Symptoms of plantar fasciitis are often brought on or made worse by tightening of these tissues. These exercises should take about 15 minutes a day. Once your symptoms are controlled it's worth getting into the habit of doing them once or twice a day to reduce the risk of symptoms coming back.
