I'm doing the exercises Rob the Bob. Two total shoulder replacements, and now a hip replacement. I never could beat you in a game of basketball!

[@kimberleyguest9912]

Just found these. 6 weeks post anterior approach. I can do most of these. I definitely will keep them in mind. The chair is hard when doing it the proper way he said. The straight leg gave me stabbing groin pain so i will have to work up to that.

You guys are great! I’m in my 8th week of my total hip replacement. By doing your excersises, I have been able to avoid going to therapy. I was on my cane by the 2nd week. And now can walk freely without any assistance…thanks to what I’ve learned from you guys!!!! Thanks a million!

Thank you so much! Needed more challenging exercises than my PT was giving me!

I am doing the leg lift on my back right now, along with other exercises. However, I'll be adding the other 3 into my daily routine. I'm months out from a hip revision and am still working through pain and strengthening muscles. Thanks, guys!

Hey guys! I watched you pre and post surgery. Right hip replacement. Got rid of the walker after one week. Walking with cane. Stairs no problem and doing a lot of leg exercises similar to your demonstrations. Three weeks in just can't wait for my limp to go away I imagine the swelling still needs to subside? Thank you for all these inspiring videos!!!

[@victorclisby2782]

Good point about the flexion hip precaution when standing up from the chair. Although, I'm not too convinced on the hip abduction exercise as the eccentric phase involves crossing the midline of the trunk (which falls into the adduction hip precaution). Don't get me wrong, it looks like a great exercise when the patient is at a phase with NO hip precautions... but not while there are hip precautions in place. (< maybe needed to reiterate that in the video)

Thank you very much for the video! I had my femur bone, knee joint and hip replaced 2 years ago. Would I still possibly be able to improve from wobbling when I walk? I have been biking, horse-back riding and some basic therapy, but still would need a cane to prevent wobbling too much. Thanks

Hi I'm 4 months post op what other exercise can I do to strengthen my hip. Exercises you are showing is a piece of cake for me. Thanks

[@bripro68]

Im just over two weeks from a bilateral total hip replacement. I'm 49 years old and have been working through pain for years preop so I was able to get pretty far along with therapy quickly. I ditched the walker about a week after surgery and was up and down my stairs three days after the operation with the handrails and cane of course. These are great exercises and I can do them all already but wanted to ask just because I am able to, should I be doing them at this point?

[@BigDsHomestead]

I am.8 days post op and me therapist has already got me doing these. My hip hurts like hell, too. I feel more comfortable with your previous vid you were talking about. I hope she knows what shes doing. I can still hardly walk.

Hi. Thank you for this video. I am four years out of bilateral surgery. I was told that I have some scar tissue buildup in my right hip, where I am not so flexible. I was looking for exercises to help keep me mobile. I do a lot of walking, is there anything else that I can do?

[@jimme4348]

Had bi-lateral hip replacement about a month ago, posterior approach. Doing well, so far no complications. Is it safe to do the hip abduction exercises (where you lay on your sides and raise your legs)? I'll be seeing the doctor for my 6 week checkup in two weeks. Once he clears me I would like to try this exercise, but worry about rolling over on my side, when I don't have a good side to roll over onto.

[@deborahbloom7429]

how do you handle the exercises if you had both hips replaced 8 weeks apart?

[@waynekettle5074]

Hi Guys. When you stand up from a chair having the knees together , is it ok to have the knees apart slightly wider than the hips and then stand up. It seems to stabilize the body and cuts out the tendency to lean forward as I start to stand up.cheers Wayne

[@kevinmazur1519]

Is it still possible to strengthen the muscles on the surgical hip - the other hip is starting to hurt also

[@SusanP72]

I could do the first exercise easily. I can not do the second exercise at all because the pain was inten cell. what should I Do? do I have a subsequent injury.

[@MichaelPrescia]

1.5 to 2 years into a Hip Replacement and PAIN. Promised I would have no pain and I have had the most ever in my life since my surgery. ??? Just is. Not sure but I sit all day in traffic in NYC and I have a nerve issue, stenosis in lower spine now. Didn't before have an issue but was on meds. Wonder if you have more Long Term exercises to get rid of pain. I know exercise itself loosens it and helps but can cause irritation later on that day. ???

When doing an anterior approach do surgeons ever have a precaution on abduction? If so why?

So if I'm two years after having it done should it still b unbearable pain from knee to hip? What can I do to help pain, I'm used to pain 24/7 have a list of problems a 90 year old might have but I'm just over 30 but this hip is another level of pain unreal.

Hello Dr's :o) I had been doing the side stretch leg exercise instructed (2nd one you demonstrated) by my Physio but after 2 to 3 days I could not lift my leg any more, I mean the pain till now is excruciating and I feel like since I started these exercises my penguin walk has gotten worse. Before the exercise with the Physio I felt my john Wayne walk was getting better but I'm a bit worried that I feel like my progress is going backwards. (The ball used in my Posterior approach was bigger due to my younger age and way my former hip had deteriorated. Im wondering if this is why the 2nd exercise you demonstrated is causing so much pain? Thank you in advance for any advice.

[@mindsetresetkingdomperspec5916]

+physicaltherapyvideo Thank you for replying Dr. I am actually 10 weeks post op but my PT with a professional only started last week. I have stop that particular exercise and scared I may have fractured something as walking is painful again since that exercise. Funny as I was doing the first exercise you demonstrated and was getting on well with that but the side one just proved way to much I guess. Thank you once again for replying. God Bless.

Two three months after surgery?? Are u sure guys? Straight leg raises good to go on 3 -4 week

[@hesj67]

What should be done if the exercises for the replacement hip aggravate the other hip ?? Had a right hip replacement. Ortho Doc says both hips are bad so did the worst hip first. Rehab was going well till I advanced to the lower body exercise machines. Exercise really aggravates the left side, especially when lying down trying to rest. In addition to walking, I'm mainly focusing on the right side only. Not sure if this is good or not - may cause an imbalance ??? My right hip was replaced 4 months ago and plan to do the left hip - probably in the Fall. Is there a recommended time span between surgeries ??? Thx !!!

[@hesj67]

+physicaltherapyvideo Thx for your kind response. I was doing water therapy before the Holidays which worked pretty well till the PT added lower body exercise machines which really aggravated the left side. Plan to go back in the pool as probably won't do left hip replacement till Fall. Primary Care also suggested limiting walking and to focus more on cycling.
