What is a hip replacement?


A hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial joint. The artificial joint, also called a prosthesis, is designed to mimic the natural movement of the hip joint and help relieve pain and restore function.

Hip replacement surgery is typically recommended for people who have severe hip pain and disability caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury.

During the surgery, the damaged portions of the hip joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic, or ceramic prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to fit securely into the bone and provide a smooth surface for the joint to move on.

After surgery, patients may need to stay in the hospital for a few days to allow for proper healing and rehabilitation. They may also need to use crutches or a walker for a period of time, and will typically undergo physical therapy to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the hip joint.

Hip replacement surgery can be highly effective in relieving pain and improving mobility in the hip joint, and can help to restore quality of life for people with severe hip problems. However, like all surgeries, it does carry some risks, including infection, blood clots, and implant failure, so it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified orthopedic surgeon.

How can physical therapy help before and after a hip replacement?


Physical therapy can be very beneficial for patients both before and after hip replacement surgery. Here's how:

Before hip replacement surgery:

  1. Education: Physical therapists can provide patients with information about what to expect during the surgery and recovery process.

  2. Strengthening: Physical therapy can help to improve the strength and flexibility of the muscles around the hip joint, which can help to improve surgical outcomes and recovery time.

  3. Range of motion: Physical therapy can help to improve the range of motion in the hip joint before surgery, which can help to minimize pain and stiffness after surgery.

  4. Pain management: Physical therapists can provide techniques to manage pain and swelling before surgery, which can help to improve the patient's overall comfort and reduce the risk of complications.

After hip replacement surgery:

  1. Early mobilization: Physical therapy can help patients to start moving as soon as possible after surgery, which can help to prevent blood clots and improve circulation.

  2. Pain management: Physical therapists can provide techniques to manage pain and swelling after surgery, which can help to improve the patient's overall comfort and reduce the risk of complications.

  3. Strengthening: Physical therapy can help to improve the strength and flexibility of the muscles around the hip joint after surgery, which can help to improve mobility and reduce the risk of complications.

  4. Gait training: Physical therapy can help patients to learn how to walk properly with their new hip joint, which can help to prevent falls and improve overall mobility.

  5. Home exercise program: Physical therapists can provide patients with exercises to perform at home, which can help to improve their recovery and prevent future hip problems.

Overall, physical therapy can be a critical part of the rehabilitation process for patients undergoing hip replacement surgery, helping them to regain strength, mobility, and function in their hip joint.

Patient Reviews


The physical therapist came to our house and carefully reviewed our case. He designed therapies and strategies that have worked well for us. For example, my husband could not get off the floor by himself and I could not lift him when he fell. Together we learned techniques to cope with this situation in our home. Joshua designed fun and effective exercises to improve strength and flexibility. My husband can now get in and out of chairs and cars without help and walks more easily. Since we used equipment in and around the home, my husband can remember and apply what he has learned. Mobile Rehab accepted our insurance and worked out approval to provide services. We did not need a referral from our doctor. My husband and I highly recommend Mobile Rehab if you or a loved one needs physical therapy.Jerry from Pittsboro
I wanted to tell you how much better I think Mom is since starting your PT. She has been less off balance, quicker to equilibrate to standing, and has had more stamina. I also think she is less depressed and feels more accomplished. Josh has been prompt and polite, as well as engaging in conversation to make Mom feel at ease. Thank you!Karen Pool - Google Review
Kelly evaluated me and made some helpful suggestions. I look forward to working with her and improving my balance and muscle strength. Rita - Google Review
The physical therapist was punctual, understanding, flexible, determined and concerned about my recovery. I feel I received the best possible physical therapy from my home until I was able to drive myself to outpatient therapy. Thanks, Kelly for your concern and professional skills.Lois Reed Boswell - Facebook Review
Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough good things about my therapist, Jennifer. After having a complete shoulder replacement and being discharged by my doctor, he recommended that I could still need therapy to help get me back to “normal”. My friend in Asheville recommended Jennifer to me. I set up an appointment and Jen showed up, right on time, at my apartment with her folding table in tow. She was so knowledgeable about how my shoulder worked, the muscles, tendons and the rotator cuff. After working on the painful spots I complained about, she set up a plan to work out the stiffness and soreness. Now, after 2 visits per week for four weeks, I feel like a new woman. At her last visit, she gave me the coping skills I needed to keep my shoulder in good shape. I am so impressed with her work that I recommend her highly as my most favored therapist.Jane Cumby - Google Review
Deb's professional manner is greatly appreciated as she continues to help me maintain my mobility with a variety of exercises and movements. Her positive attitude during my sessions gives me a sense of well-being.Nancy C. - Google Review
Mobile Rehab has an excellent service for patients seeking physical therapy. They are truly professionals. I have been in physical therapy for over four months and have four torn muscles in my rotator cuff. In the beginning my physical therapist, Kelly Swimm, started out very gently. I was in a lot of pain. As time went on my right arm and shoulder began to get stronger. Now I have full range of motion. Kelly took it nice and slow, and after the exercises, I was usually in less pain than when I started out. She is an EXCELLENT Physical Therapist. When I finally got an MRI, Kelly knew the terminology. She showed me pictures of the rotator cuff muscles that were torn. Kelly was always on time; never late. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mobile Rehab and Kelly for anyone seeking in-home physical therapy. Having her come into my home was certainly a big plus. Regards, Kathie
