PHYSICAL THERAPY

Preparing for and recovering after your surgery


Physical Therapy

▪ In the Hospital right after surgery.

▪ Physical therapy in your home (Home Health Physical Therapy): 24-48 hours after discharge from the hospital.

▪ Outpatient Physical Therapy (at your home facility) begins after you have met your goals with home health physical therapy for further strengthening and return to activities.


Physical Therapy: Hospital Goals

▪ Before you are discharged from the hospital, we will show you how to:

– Get in and out of bed.

– Sit, stand, and walk.

– Climb stairs, if you have them at home.


Positions to avoid

▪ The chances of dislocation is very low.

▪ Your hip is most prone to dislocating the first 4-6 weeks after surgery.

▪ It is OK to bend your hips beyond 90 degrees as long as your knees

are apart and not together.


Positions to Avoid


Acceptable positions


Heel slides


Quad thigh squeezes


Gluteal (buttocks) squeezes


Moving at home

▪ Limit walking to around your home and to appointments until your home health physical therapist sees you

▪ Do your exercises
