Canandaigua Physical Therapists
A total hip replacement can be a life-changing surgery that can help you get back to a comfortable level of mobility and autonomy. The procedure, however, is not the end of your road to recovery, and you will have to work hard to recover fully. A huge key to your success in your journey back to full health is treatment through physical therapy. At Lake Country Physical Therapy in Canandaigua, your recovery from your total hip replacement is as important to us as it is to you, and we will help develop a physical therapy plan tailored to your specific needs.
Your physical therapist in Canandaigua will slowly ramp up your treatment as your movement capabilities increase. Your treatment will likely begin in bed, and will gradually leave as you grow stronger and more used to your surgical joint. Some exercises and treatments that your recovery plan may include could be:
- Walking and climbing stairs
- Transferring between positions
- Isolated muscle strengthening exercises
- Balance training for safety and fall prevention
- Flexibility exercises and training
- Ankle rotations for mobility
- Leg raises and rotations
- Muscle contractions and knee bends
Our team of Canandaigua physical therapists has years of experience in helping people in your position recover from total hip replacements. We know how to take it slow and build up your strength safely while training you to use a walker or crutches to retain your independence in the interim. You will regain your mobility and learn to use your surgical joint for the rest of your life, and we are determined to help you get to a comfortable level of use and motion following your hip replacement surgery. Here at Lake Country Physical Therapy in Canandaigua, your recovery and health are our biggest priorities.
