Total Hip Replacement (THR) Rehabilitation
Total hip replacement is a common procedure for relieving severe hip pain and restoring mobility caused by arthritis, injury, or joint degeneration. While surgery replaces the damaged joint with an artificial one, rehabilitation is key to regaining strength, flexibility, and safe movement for daily activities and athletic goals.
Total Hip Replacement (THR) Rehabilitation
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Advanced hip osteoarthritis or joint degeneration
- Persistent hip pain and stiffness limiting daily function
- Injury or fracture requiring joint replacement
- Reduced range of motion that affects walking, standing, or exercising
- Loss of quality of life due to chronic hip issues
What Happens If Left Untreated?
Without rehab, patients may face ongoing pain, joint stiffness, poor balance, limited hip motion, and delayed return to walking, sports, or normal life routines.
