Physical therapy is usually started within the first few days after hip replacement surgery. At Meva, our specialists determine the most appropriate start time according to the patient’s postoperative condition and carefully manage the process.
Physical therapy after hip replacement surgery is essential for strengthening the muscles around the prosthesis, regaining joint movement and performing daily activities painlessly. Physical therapy at Meva helps to ensure long-term success and prolong the life of the prosthesis.
Exercises are planned according to the patient’s needs and focus on gradually increasing mobility. Exercises at Meva include various techniques such as muscle strengthening, flexibility enhancement, gait training and balance exercises. The exercises are carefully planned to avoid damaging the patient’s surgical site.
At Meva, postoperative pain management is of great importance. For pain control, our doctors and physiotherapists use methods such as medication, cold compresses and appropriate exercise techniques. In this way, it is aimed for patients to have a comfortable rehabilitation process.
In the first weeks after surgery, crossing the legs, squatting, sudden turning movements and overloading should be avoided. Our expert team at Meva teaches patients in detail the movements and safe techniques they should pay attention to in their daily lives.
After surgery, patients can start walking with support in the first few days, depending on their condition. At Meva, our expert physiotherapists ensure that patients take their first steps correctly and gradually advance their walking training.
The time to return to normal activities varies depending on the patient’s recovery rate and response to physical therapy. At Meva, our expert team evaluates the patient’s progress and provides detailed information on when the patient can return to normal activities.
Physical therapy applied correctly and carefully does not cause any damage. At Meva, our expert physiotherapists prioritize patient safety by performing all exercises in a controlled and careful manner.
The time to start sports activities depends on the patient’s level of recovery. Generally, low-impact sports (swimming, walking, cycling) can be practiced 3-6 months after surgery. Our specialists at Meva determine the time and appropriate sports when the patient can safely start playing sports.
