Yoga or Pilates after THR?

I am starting pilates in january, my PT teaches it and said I should wait until I was 6 month, but he has given me a couple of things to do until then.  what is the mc tmoney? 

After 5 weeks of PT I now need to search for the next workout which involves strengthening the buttocks, the stomach muscles.  I have curvature of the spine and will never be aligned.  I am trying to be positve about my leg discrepancy and hoping that they may equal out eventually.

Hi Jackie, you must maintain the precautions. You can do the exercises but some in yoga may not be for you. Pilates careful with those classes, but they are great. Emphasis your condition to the trainers, if you using trainers. I would go to a therapist and have them work on you until you're ready for more advanced exercises. 

If you look at the anatomy of muscles it will show how your hip is wrapped around and the protection our body produces. Posterior Lateral is one operation required to cut into the muscle, tissues and tendons to get to the hip and resewed, while that is healing you cannot do exercises that can open your internal wound risking hip dislocation. As long those muscle are tight and strong your hip will dislocate.

I'm a long term yoga practitioner. 

Despite having every faith in it, I would strongly advise specialist physiotherapy before gradually returning to yoga/Pilates.

Thank you all for your informative replies, I will take them all on board, it's so nice to be able to ask even what seems to be the silliest of questions and to be taken seriously, wishing you all well in your recoveries x

Hi Jackie,  I am 8 weeks post revision RTHR and have practised yoga for many years.  If you have never done it before I would advise you to wait until 6 months' post op and let your yoga teacher know about your op. He or she will be able to guide you and possibly adapt some of the poses for you.  My teacher has had a THR so she knows what I'm going through. She has given me some very gentle exercises to do at home and I hope to go back to class in January but will only be able to do a few of the poses.  I wouldn't even contemplate lying on the floor at the moment so I've got a few exercises I can do lying on the bed.  Yoga is non-competitive either with yourself or with other people and is very much a case of listening to your own body and only going as far as you feel able.  If you do decide on yoga find a good teacher and take it very carefully.

Good luck,

Thank you, I have now decided to wait a while, I'm just so keen to rebuild very underused muscles but not sure which route to travel down, I think I will get Xmas out of the way and start on something, yoga/ Pilates based xx

Good decision. Christmas - at least. Be v v gentle with yourself and not too ambitious. Good luck x
