Hip Replacement Rehabilitation
Personalized physical therapy to help you rebuild strength, balance, walking ability, and confidence after hip replacement surgery.
San Tan Physical Therapy provides one-on-one, hands-on care for Queen Creek and San Tan area patients.
Continue Your Recovery Beyond the Hospital
For some osteoarthritic hip joints and femur fractures, a total hip replacement is the appropriate option. During total hip replacement, both the ball of the hip joint—the head and neck of the femur—and the socket—the acetabulum—are replaced.
You will receive physical therapy in the hospital. Research also suggests that patients can gain significant strength and improve balance skills with additional outpatient physical therapy. Our physical therapists create a customized plan to help you safely progress from early recovery toward the activities that matter to you.
Everyone is different. Your care plan may require only a few visits or may continue for several weeks or months based on your recovery, goals, and surgeon's guidance.
What We Work Toward Together
Your program is designed around safe, practical milestones for returning to daily life.
Move With Confidence
Restore hip range of motion, improve your ability to bear weight and stand on the leg, and build tolerance for prolonged activities.
Build Strength & Control
Progressively improve muscle strength, power, fitness, joint alignment, and proprioception—the body's awareness of position and movement.
Return to Daily Function
Practice safe walking, stair climbing, sit-to-stand transfers, balance, and the functional skills that support independence at home and in the community.
Components of Your Rehabilitation Plan
Following a thorough biomechanical evaluation and extensive education, your therapist may incorporate the techniques and training that fit your stage of recovery.
Hands-On & Symptom Care
Gentle hands-on techniques, soft tissue mobilization, and pain-relieving modalities such as ice, heat, or electrical stimulation may be used to support comfort and recovery.
Movement & Strength Training
Your plan may include hip active and passive range of motion, resistive exercise, isometric exercise, core strengthening, and targeted stretching.
Walking, Balance & Safety
Gait training, stair climbing, sit-to-stand retraining, balance exercises, and functional retraining help you move more safely and independently.
