Physiotherapy After Hip Replacement: Home Visits in Faridabad
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopaedic procedures available, dramatically reducing pain and restoring function in patients with end-stage hip arthritis. However, the quality of your recovery depends heavily on your post-operative physiotherapy.
Early rehabilitation restores muscle strength, range of motion, and walking ability while minimising complications. For patients in Faridabad who struggle to travel post-surgery, home visit physiotherapy is an equally effective option.
At Realign Rehab Clinic , NIT-5, Faridabad, our expert physiotherapists deliver personalised, evidence-based rehabilitation. We serve patients from NIT, Green Field Colony, Ballabhgarh, Sector 21–82, and across Faridabad.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start physiotherapy after hip replacement?
Within 24 hours of surgery, starting with gentle bed exercises and progressing to walking. Early mobilisation is critical for preventing complications and achieving best outcomes.
What are hip precautions after hip replacement?
Standard precautions (for posterior approach) include: no hip flexion beyond 90°, no crossing legs, no twisting the leg inward. Your physiotherapist will explain and reinforce these at every session.
How long until I walk without a stick after hip replacement?
Most patients walk independently without aids at 8–12 weeks. Some manage without a stick earlier, but it depends on muscle strength and confidence. Our physiotherapist will guide your progression.
