Following a Partial Hip Replacement surgery (Hemiarthroplasty), returning to physical activity is essential for both recovery and maintaining your overall health. However, it’s important to approach exercise gradually and thoughtfully.
Initially, walking will be your primary activity. It helps promote healing, improves circulation, and strengthens muscles around the hip. You can start with short walks and slowly increase the duration and distance as your strength and mobility improve. Using assistive devices such as a walker or cane may be necessary during this phase.
After the initial recovery period, usually around 6 to 8 weeks, you can begin incorporating low-impact exercises. Swimming and stationary cycling, as they allow you to exercise without placing excessive stress on your hip joint. Additionally, light stretching and strengthening exercises, focusing on flexibility and the muscles supporting your hip, can further enhance your recovery.
High-impact activities, such as running, jumping, or contact sports, should be avoided for the long term. These activities can place undue strain on the hip and potentially lead to complications.
Remember to follow your physical therapist’s guidance and listen to your body. Gradual progress and consistency are key to a smooth recovery and maintaining joint health.
