Hip surgery is a significant surgical procedure that requires a careful approach to rehabilitation to ensure full recovery and regain functionality. At our physical therapy center in the heart of Belgrade in Vračar, we provide specialized rehabilitation programs after hip surgery, designed to speed up your recovery and improve your quality of life.
What does rehabilitation mean after hip surgery?
Rehabilitation after hip surgery includes a series of exercises and therapeutic methods aimed at:
– Reduction of pain and swelling: Using Shockwave and Tecar therapy and other modalities to reduce post-operative pain and swelling.
– Increasing mobility: personalized exercises to increase the range of motion in the hip joint.
– Muscle strengthening: focus on strengthening hip, thigh and lower back muscles to provide stability and support to the joint.
– Improving balance and coordination: balance exercises that reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
Phases of Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation usually takes place in several stages:
1. Acute phase (0-2 weeks after surgery): Focuses on reducing pain and swelling, as well as initial exercises for mild mobility.
2. Subacute phase (2-6 weeks after surgery): More intensive exercises to increase strength and mobility, with therapy to improve walking.
3. Recovery phase (depending on the patient’s condition, 6-12 weeks after surgery): Advanced strength and endurance exercises, as well as activities for returning to daily routines.
Complete rehabilitation phase (depending on the patient’s condition, 12+ weeks after surgery): Individualized programs for returning to sports and recreational activities.
