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.

The implant is perfect from day one — what takes time is rebuilding the muscles that were cut or retracted during the operation. Gluteus medius strength, in particular, is critical for normal gait, and without targeted physiotherapy, many patients walk with a permanent limp. *— Dr. Vaishali Suri (BPT), Realign Rehab Clinic, Faridabad* - ✦ Total hip replacement has a 15–20 year implant survivorship rate of over 85% - ✦ Patients who start physiotherapy within 24 hours of surgery have 35% better hip abductor strength at 6 weeks - ✦ Home-visit physiotherapy produces equivalent outcomes to outpatient rehabilitation after hip replacement - ✦ Average hospital stay after THR in India is 3–5 days — physiotherapy must continue post-discharge ## Physiotherapy Treatment at Realign Rehab, Faridabad - Day 1–3: sitting edge exercises, ankle pumps, static glute contractions, and early walking with aids - Week 1–3: hip precaution education, walking distance progression, bed exercises - Week 3–8: hip abductor and extensor strengthening, stair training - Week 8–12: advanced strengthening, gait normalisation, return to daily activities - Oedema management: elevation, compression, and lymphatic drainage - DVT prevention: circulation exercises, early mobilisation, compression stockings - Scar management and soft tissue therapy from week 3 - Home environment assessment for safety (grab rails, toilet height, mat removal) ## Recovery Programme **Phase 1 — Pain Relief (Weeks 1–3):** Manual therapy, electrotherapy (TENS/ultrasound), and gentle range-of-motion exercises to reduce inflammation and restore baseline function. **Phase 2 — Strengthening (Weeks 3–8):** Progressive resistance training, neuromuscular re-education, and postural correction to rebuild strength and stability. **Phase 3 — Return to Activity (Weeks 8–16):** Sport- or task-specific drills, proprioception training, and a personalised home programme to prevent recurrence. ## Why Choose Realign Rehab Clinic, Faridabad?

Within 24 hours of surgery, starting with gentle bed exercises and progressing to walking. Early mobilisation is critical for preventing complications and achieving optimal 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.
