Hip replacement aftercare
At Ramsay, we are very conscious that your hip
replacement journey does not stop the moment you leave the
hospital. Aftercare is an important element of our care and we will
aim to get you back to normal life as soon as possible.
Your
physiotherapist will give you a number of exercises to do at home
and will advise you about everyday living and what you should and
shouldn’t do. You may need to use crutches or a walking stick
initially to help with your walking. Generally gentle exercise is
helpful; our health professionals will give you advice on what is
most suitable and when to stop.
You may need to have some physiotherapy sessions over the first
few weeks after your hip replacement operation. We will also ensure
you have a follow up appointment with your consultant to check on
your progress.
