Home Physio After a Hip Replacement
Getting to a clinic in the first weeks after a hip replacement is difficult and often unnecessary. Home visit physiotherapy removes that barrier, keeps rehab consistent, and lets us tailor everything to your actual home environment.
Why home physio matters early on
Right after hip surgery, transfers, stairs, bathrooms and bed height are the real challenges. Working on these in your actual environment is more meaningful than any clinic gym exercise could be.
What a typical home session covers
Wound and swelling check, range of motion, isometric and progressive strengthening, walking practice with the assistive device, and coaching on hip precautions where relevant.
Milestones we work toward
Independent transfers, safe stair climbing, walking longer distances without pain, and gradually reducing reliance on the walker or crutches. Most patients are on a single stick or unaided within four to six weeks.
Transition back to clinic
Once travel becomes easy, we switch to clinic based sessions for gym equipment, higher level strengthening and full functional loading through the twelve week mark and beyond.
