Total Hip Replacement - Exercises 3 Months - 1 Year After Surgery 

I have had my new hip since February and the only therapy I have had is what I have seen with you guys and the Dr has released me and said keep up the good work

The video I have been waiting for. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Superb work again. Can't thank you enough. Feeling fitter and more confident having followed your advice.

Muchas gracias por sus recomendaciones...me parecen muy bien estos ejercicios...saludos desde Tampico México

Perfect timing is right. One week out of right hip replacement. Hopefully will be ready for these soon.

Thanks So Much! I’ve followed you all before and after through my anterior Lt. total hip replacement. It’s amazing what I can do now! So GRATEFUL to youze guys! ❤

Timely! I’m 14 weeks out from my THR and will incorporate these into my workouts. I think I’m going to continue the clamshells too, they seem to still provide some benefit.

Oh btw Bob and Brad, I'm loving Mike and Alex! Miss you guys but these two are wonderful.

Thanks for sharing.Very useful video.

Hi, love your channel! Please advise of similar exercises for broken knee. Thanks

Great video !! I am 48 and 3 months after my THR I can do almost all of these exercises Although I still feel sore and have a bit of limp I am not using crutches at home ,only one crutch when I go out for a walk . My surgeon had put a lot of restrictions for 3 months .

Very useful exercises

Thanks!! 😃 recovering from femur surgery

Great info

Very very good

I am week 8 and have been doing these from week 2 in a rehab program.Back cycling,swimming and can walk 7 kms a day….very happy 👍👍Off analgesics since day 10,driving day 12 ……posterior approach.

Just had my second THR a month ago. Everyone knows that the minimally invasive procedure ("anterior approach"), which is widely used in my area, leads to much more rapid recovery. I was able to walk while carrying my walker just in case the day after outpatient surgery. So I did some of these exercises during the first two weeks after surgery.

I am a year past having both of my hips replaced; I am able to walk 10 miles a day; however, still have trouble putting on my socks. What exercises do you recommend so that I can regain flexibility to easily put on my shoes and socks? Thanks Boblouis

I'm fixing to have my right hip replaced and I also am having my adductor long reattached because it completely separated from the pubic bone, how long should imbibe looking at for full recovery to where I dont have to worry about harming that muscle?

I had a hip replacement both hips plus a revision. Which still kicks my butt. Its still uncomfortable. Swimming has been a God send for me. I will try this. The revision still hurts. Im going to try it. Its been a few years

I can't remember all the exercises. How do you all use this video?

Great!!

if you have an anterior pelvic tilt is it okay to do all of these exercises?

Can you give me an advance video. I'm in Week 11. I'm just under 60, heart rate under 50bmp, already can walk 5-10 km day, crab walk, one legged bridges (all times 30), etc. Doing 50-100 push ups/day; 30 dips, exercise on Olympic rings. When can I skip again? When can I get into a kiyak? When can I jog - how long? Should I get on the exercise bike? How long? So many questions and please don't say check with your doctor - it's a catch all but they really don't know a lot.

The actual exercises start at 3:07 you're welcome.

As a SPTA this is a great review

No 3 Hip Extension-is this ok after direct anterior approach?

Can you over exercise the front thigh? I over do walking & boom there it is or lower squats. Ty

For more than 1 year had been operated upon, but still cannot walk normally without the help of a walker please advise how should 1 start.

What kind of stick is Mike using?

How long after total hip/ LTHR can a petson ride a motorcycle /bicycles?

I'm on week 7. I've been exercising since 8 years old, 56 now, and trained to world championship thai boxing level, trained 4 hours a day. So day 1 I took mini weights and power band to hospital. I did 15 mins upper body, morning, after and evening the 3rd day while in hospital, doing 500 ankle pumps per day and leg 500 leg extensions on my good side. keeping my operated hip totally straight with no movement . Phase II - 5 days out of hospital , I adjusted my skipping rope to be able to do one handed "skipping", with support strong power band , shoulder press, arm curls and 500 reps leg extension. As I'm 6"4 and 215 lbs I have a very strong gaming chair to sit and do all of these exercises. PHASE III- Is go back to the gym in week 3 after surgery, easy stationary bike 10km a day , easy weights for just 1 hour exercise per day. PHASE IV - and V , after 4 weeks I started easy 500m walks , 1km walk and now 4km with walking sticks as a base with 200 press-ups, 120 chin-ups, 100 reps bench press with easy 150 lbs. PHASE VI - started in week 6-7 , right now. I went out on my mountain bike , and stepped up the gears slowly and blasted out 25km cycle with max speed at 35kph. I'm up to 1.5 hours of workouts per day, hip is great , as I rotate ice packs and warm packs all day long, lie down for afternoon 30 mins. by week 9 ill be power walking, flying on the mountain bike and have 90% of all upper body power back, to get to benching 300lbs again. NOTE - I have been training for 45 years , 7 days a week and rehab for athletes is completely different in stages that people that never exercised before, but as always be very careful , everything in well defined stages , rest , elevate , and ice and you can get back to 2 to 4 hours of workouts per day.

I'm looking for exercises to become active, like working out my legs with weights, and playing tennis. Not interested in just being stable balance. Looking to return ti competing

My surgery was 7 weeks ago, I'm 57, very active person and I feel great. I started leg exercises and pull ups. I want to go back to swimming using a pull buoy between legs for safety purposes. Do you see any problems with that? May I swim?

I'm three months out from THR right hip. I'm 63 years old and have been working out for years bodybuilding and powerlifting. I'm back to working my upper body just as before surgery. Working legs and lower back doing light squats with kettlebells or smith machine (going to parallel), split squats , machine leg extensions and leg curls and light deadlifts. Doing stationary bike and walking for some aerobics. I do still have pain in my hip flexor and groin , doctor said everything looks great so I'm hoping this pain will subside with more time. Question - can you recommend any specific stretching exercises for the hip flexor. The physical therapist I was going to didn't really recommend stretching.

I'll be six months postop May 2021. I'm still using a cane to get around. When I'm not using the cane, I limp with an awkward gait. My surgeon advises against a lift for the other leg but I feel I'm off balance, which is how wreaking havoc with my other hip. Also, PTA suggested I get sturdier shoes because I was walking on my arch. Bought a pair of shoes at The Good Feet Store. Asked them about orthotics or shoe lift but they won't do anything until I'm six months out. I'm getting tired of the cane but I can't walk without it. My brother had bilateral hip replacement in 2019 (June and December) and has had NO issues. He did need a lift. I don't know what to do or even how to measure for a lift. Do I now need to see a podiatrist? I'm so over this!

I'm 53, had a hip replaced 3 years ago after a fall. These exercises are too easy for me. Would like to overcome muscle aches in both thighs.

The balance board is pushing your luck early in the piece. Doesn't all this contribute to wearing out your prosthesis?

It would really help if a band was put on the "operated" leg to help us keep focus

THE FI8RST 3RD ., I DO IN THE A.M. WHEN I GET UP . ALL OF THE RESWT OF THESE I DO IN THE SWIMMING POOL . I CAN AVOID HIP REPLACEMENT & will avoid falling as i get older .......

Do you have any exercises for someone who is younger with a hip replacement? I’m 42, muscular, in the military, and looking for strengthening, more flexibility, and more balance with my new hip.

My mother is 77years old nd have hip surgery,how i could handle them,one month is complete of her hip surgery

Hi, I'm 5 weeks post bilateral hip replacements...im on the bike 3-4 times a week, for 40minutes..Ive been doing alot of machine based weights for hamstrings and quads..is this to much?

How long after LTHR can a person ride a motorcycle??

My left leg swings inside while trying to jog. My age is 60 with THR Surgery complete with 5 months. What is the suggestions. Kindly advise.

My son is 41 n got biletral hip replaced 2 moth ago he has foot drop n swelling on left feet tell exercise

Beach walking is good and easier than flat surface walking.

Ten miles bf no arthritis fell hip anterior replacement said 100% does that mean 10 miles on my cane doing 3 uphill says exercise on my Apple Watch. Does that mean sprint? 8 weeks out

I am about 10 days to left hip replacment on May 23. I get so angry when the nurses tell me I need to learn how to walk with a walker for after surgery because I have needed a walker for about 9 years and cannot walk a step since mid Oct. Because my hip has got so bad. I also got the tools for after THR and am using them now. I got a second foot lifter so I can get in my van easier. I also got a 4 inch folding stool to easier get into my van after the surgery, it is half as high as the taller stool that is too tall to use. I also have a 3 inch folding stool to use next to my tub so lifting my leg is easier to do to get in and out. I finally can put on my support socks with the sock aid and can take off the socks with the clothing hook and put on my shoes with the long shoehorn. I doneed to usea grabber to pick up socks Nd other things off the floor becauseI cannot bend down topick anthing from the floor unless it is about 2 to 3 inches off the floor a ND then I can just reach it but the grabber makes it so much easier to do that. Ì have had to ask my son to help me with the socks and shoes until I got these aids. I have also got a good bath stool that does not tip when I push on it to get up in the bath after a shower, so no more getting stuck in the tub for an hour like I did last October. I gave that small round stool and a square stool with arms that I can not use in my tub to the local thrift store where I got the small round stool several years ago and used it ntil I couldn't get up from it. I get so get angry at nurses who say I must have a 2 wheel walker so I can get up of the toilet a and in or out of the tub with it. My small bath has a vanity and grab bars attached to the tub that I use to get up and sit on my raised toilet seat. I also have grab bars next to the tub and under the window behind the tub that I use as well. I have taken photos of my bath so I can show these nurses how my home Is set up because 7:58 my late husband needed several of these aids so I have some already. I really resent anyone who insists that they know more than I do about how my home is arranged and ready for me for after surgery. My front door is probably blocked for a walker, but I never use it unless getting the mail and then will use my cane from close as I can get with my walker or I use my late husband 's one hand walker to get to the front door. I had forgotten about it and it is a lifesaver for tight spots.

I'm very very frustrated with the hip replacement I had 3 years ago. I've been to physical therapy twice and I went to a second surgeon to see if he could find out why I can't walk without a limp, and now hiking is out of the question. He said my bone scan and the prosthesis all looks good so he sent me to another round of physical therapy. With physical therapy I reached a point where they said my range of motion and strength were good but I still walk with a limp that makes long walks and hiking a thing of the past. The second surgeon did say it could be a soft tissue issue but didn't tell me what could be done about it. Might you have any recommendations for someone in my situation? It's very frustrating because everyone my age (68) that I've met who have had hip replacement couldn't be happier with their new walking freedom.

65 and I'm 5 months post surgery and still need a cane to walk normally without a waddle. And I have pain when I return from my daily walks. I feel like there is something wrong with me when people say they are back to normal at 3 months or sooner. I'm here to see what more I can do to get back to normal. Perhaps I need a wobble board or intensify my exercises.... I don't know. I can't trim my toe nails w/o hurting and washing my feet is difficult w/o a sponge on a stick and I still use a shower chair. Frustrated!

I 'm 53yrs I have hip replacement and femur fracture now i'so stress

Is this for anterior or posterior???

Ok

Timing is incredible. I am 54 and had one hip done in November and the other( left) done in December. Last week I somehow fell or slipped or something and my left hip popped out of the socket. I am being very careful but I have to get my strength back. Is this something I can make a full recovery from. Melinda

😍😍

I’m 49 and about to have left hip replacement

Sir I can't stand without my walker

I'm 60 year old with diabetes in control with medicine for Nueropathy. I'm out of THE left leg with over 5 months. I cannot run straight & normal. The left leg swinngs inside & restricts my range of motion. Please suggest correction measured

These are Bob and Brad's kids?

Stop demonstrating with one leg only. The operated leg needs to be the weight bearing leg as well, duh?

They act just like you bob ,brad strange

Please stop demonstrating with just one leg. The operated leg needs to be the weight bearing leg as well. Duh!

Dont assume there's an age to Hip Replacements

No hip replacement are done in younger people now so his statement there is factually incorrect

First cmnt
