Marc- At the age of 37 I was diagnosed with AVN. I had no idea what was happening. I spent 2 months thinking I had pulled a muscle or caused some overuse injury. Then 3 months in physical therapy, which was extremely painful and difficult, before one of the therapists asked why my doctor hadn't ordered x-rays. After 5 excruciating, debilitating months, I found out I had advanced AVN with subchondral collapse. Due to Covid, my surgery would be delayed until May of 2022. I spent nearly a year with this condition, disabled, with intractable pain, and with nothing to do but imagine how my life was over. I had always been active before, biking, hiking, strength training whenever I could. I felt like that part of my life was going to be so diminished that it was the end of those things for me. And then I found this. It gave me hope. I saw you and your attitude, your obvious fitness, and started watching all of your videos about total hip arthroplasty. I realized my life wasn't over. It was just going to be a little different. I didn't have a disability. I had a challenge. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story. You made me feel like I wasn't alone. I had my right side done in May, and the left in June. And now, 6 months later, I'm hiking, biking, and getting out the free-weights again. And I was sure to save your videos from all of those months ago when I found them, even though I was barely able to stand then. Because seeing them made me realize that one day, I would be going right along with you. And here I am. Thank you.
That’s great to hear. I have AVN in both hips. They told me to put it off as long as possible. It’s been almost 5 years and I’ve lost so much muscle and the pain is intolerable. I finally schedule my first surgery for the end of the month. And plan to have the second around December. I know it’s going to be a long trek back to building muscle but I’ve never been more excited to be rid of this. I’m 38 and ready to live the next half of my life pain free.
Thanks so much for making this video. I have just had a total hip replacement 4 weeks ago and was looking for a good routine that will help me get strong again. I like the progressive examples you give. Well done.
Be careful with your rehab! Your physiotherapist will give you a booklet which will tell you what you can do and when. If you overdo it you’re in for pretty severe pain. I overdid it about 4 mos. after my THR and have really suffered for it. By ALL means rehab but only what your current state of fitness can handle. Best wishes!
I did both my hips replaced exactly one year ago. Each time I bend down to pickup something from the floor, I literally can't help smiling feeling no pain at all! I understand why people who have had THR surgeries say why I didn't do this mucg earlier. Now I want to keep this metal hips until my final days for at least next 30 years my fear and concern are dislocation when I exercise. I understand I have restrictions now for certain exercises as my hips may pop out if I am not careful and had been looking for this kind of video. Thank you very much! You really encourage me to keep moving.
Thank you so much,I just bumped into this video...last year I had a hip replacement surgery and after 6 weeks I kinda stopped doing exercises and now I see that I'm losing muscles. Thank you again 🙏🇿🇦
I just had a FHR Feb 3, 2022. At 6 weeks out the Surgeon told me I had no restrictions and would have full range of motion. That night I was able to sit cross legged for the first time in my life! Not gonna lie, I cried from joy! Now to try and rebuild all the muscle I've lost. These videos are a true blessing. Going into the surgery, all the PT's I talked to were very skeptical that I would have full range of motion and that I wouldn't really be able to move and exorcise again. Fortunately I found this video a few weeks before my surgery and it really encouraged me. Thank you so much for the information you have shared sir! God bless!
I have just had hip resurfacing (posterior) and have watched a few of your hip videos now. Your presentation and communication skills are excellent, thank you. I also appreciate the data you include, such as the video where you mentioned the study about hip precautions (or not). It is so great to find someone who doesn't just spout the same old stuff without any thought behind it. You are a breath of fresh air. Thanks.
Fantastic. I just had my second hip replacement, and had done a lot of research for the first surgery. This is the best collection of what I'll call advanced exercises that can be done without equipment. Superb. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video, I was diagnosed with severe bilateral osteoarthritis of the hips for no apparent reason, my doctor says that I have a hip replacement criteria, your videos are encouraging, I am only 47 years old but I have been suffering from symptoms for more than 10 years, and The doctors never thought it came from the hips, the diagnosis is misleading at my age, now they say that after 30 you should check your joints
I'm so glad I found you. I'm having hip replacement surgery on my left leg soon, and your video has given me much more confidence in what exercises I should to do after the operation. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I'm 7 months out THR and finding the full hip hinge very challenging, the progressions you've shown are really helpful so I've taken it back a couple of steps!
Thanks mate, very helpful. I had a total hip replacement 4 weeks ago and am getting stronger and more stable every day through exercises, and these will be good to do after about the 6 week mark, after I see the surgeon.
Hello Dr. Mark: Great video! I am just past 12 weeks post-THR on right with posterior approach. My health plan includes 6 post-op sessions with PT, which I've just finished and she was very pleased with my progress. Next week, I'm going to start two weekly classes: A ballet barre class & yoga/meditation class. I will modify both as needed. I have 15 years dance experience, but not able to dance for several years due to hip, back and other injuries from car accident, from which I've slowly been healing (brain injury too). I'll be incorporating your program a few days a week, on my non-class days, and also adding swimming, walking and biking -- all in moderation. My biggest goal is to be able to ride a horse again. I'm doing a lot of slow gentle, hip flexion, glute and hamstring stretches, and practicing climbing onto a padded chair and simulating motion of hips rocking on a horse. Any other suggestions? I still have a bit of sharp pain toward the outside of the hip while doing that. It will be another few weeks before my riding class starts. I'm wondering if when I get on the horse, and there is still that bit of sharp pain, should I try staying on for a few minutes and see if it eases, or get off right away and try again in few weeks. I plan to just start with just one or two 5 min 'sessions' on the horse, per class, then increase the time, till my body adjusts. Due to car accident (2014) I have not been on a horse (or in a dance class) since, so this is a big deal for me. Thanks again for your video!
I’m post op day 8 following right total hip. Had AVN as a kid. Still using some assistance with walking bc I want to train/relearn my gate correctly. Before surgery I exercised 4-6 days a week with weights, HIIT, and CrossFit type workouts. I look forward to getting back into it. Thanks for helping me believe that I can.
I'm a year and 2 years out of both hips and have been looking for more exercises!! I had a hybrid approach! Love this!! Would love some 30 minutes bikes exercise videos and 30 minutes exercise videos !!
Love it , good stuff, if I may say, make sure you let your viers know several times your at a advanced level here. Im 65 yro L total hip 7 weeks out...This is all relavent to age and previous condition ...Im doing sit to stand, kettle bell dead lift and multiple machines, Ill be adding in this to my home exercise program, thanks great stuff!!
Thanks this really helps. I realized watching this that I am not strong enough to start actual lifting. I need to master these first and then I can progress to the next level.
This video is life changing!! I am waiting for ganz surgery for my hip dysplasia but due to the corona virus almost all surgeries are put on hold in Sweden. I am in a lot of pain all the time and I need to use a weelchair to get around outside of my house. It have been very difficult to find exercises that can strengthen my hip area without causing too much extra pain. Thank you so much for sharing your story and these exercises.
Thank you. This is the best video to date - not much out there, particularly for us who were high performing going into our op. Wk 11 and I have been doing some of these for the past several weeks. Will be looking for material to prepare for running.
I am glad I found your channel. The rehab excercises just too basic needed something more challenging that I can progress through. Actually was doing many of the exercises before my surgery as prehab ( not knowing they would be beneficial) I want to get back to golf ASAP. Any golf specific exercises you can suggest. Right Hip THR.
Check out the more recent hip replacement video as it shows examples of higher level training including medicine ball throws that might be helpful for golf. Otherwise, just generalized resistance training is great!
Dic, really enjoy this video because most patients have no clue as to how to continue strengthening the hips/muscles once outpatient PT is over. At least for me being active andvwhat to continue being active, I'm not sure what to do. I've been following you for a couple months since I'm also here in Los Angeles. I've considered coming to your practice for further training.. I don't want any issues with my body and hips after going through this. I need to get 30 lbs off and continue on my fitness journey. So I appreciate your posts on the things I can do after THR. I'm a double Hippie it hasn't been easy accepting this but it is my new reality.. I teach zumba and was told I can return to teaching but also I need to make sure I strengthen my glutes to hold the implant.. well how what can and can't I do. Appreciate any suggestions
@@shanliz I'm 13 days post op and not using walker or crutches much. I can't see a physio till the 4th and the basic exercises are pretty boring now. All my swelling and most bruising has gone already! My inner thighs look so flaccid though. Thankfully I did a Tom of core strength training pre op and it has helped me recovery much faster for sure! Plus an amazing surgeon. Tiny posterior incision and no staples!😉
I wish you were in New York 😔. 6 years post-op and I still cant trust my replacement. My PT never showed me this, it was stretch then the bike. I'm definitely gonna start with these. Thank you for these videos.
Enjoy the progressive nature of the exercises. It really gives us something to shoot for. One question ; do you recommend we only work the surgical leg or both so that we have equal R/L hip workouts. I’m hoping that your exercises will allow my surgical side to catch up to the opposite, stronger side so I’ve only been doing the one side.Thanks
Hey, not the Dr., but to my knowledge it's best to do both legs since you're doing the same or similar weight and doing them individually. Eventually the weaker leg will catch up.
I am happy to have come across you. Your exercises are the best progression that I have seen so far n the most challenging. I just completed 3 months after my right THP. Are these exercises applicable to me though I have been doing toffee of them. Thanks.
Great exercises and explanations. However, which hip did you replace? Left or right? I've replaced my right hip. You don't mention which hip should be in focus.
thank you so much for all of your information! I am 6 weeks postop anterior right hip replacement. I also need my left hip done for severe OA, but in the meantime I’m trying to rehab myself. My physio is great but she’s at a bit of a loss of what to do with me because I am much more physically capable than any patient she has seen before. I was able to maintain a very high level of strength preop, but with the expected reduced ROM and some muscle weakness due to the pain. I was wondering if you could pls do a video on how best to progress to plyo moves? Thank you again! I appreciate your channel and have subscribed to your IG and your blog as well!
Hi, thank you so much for your time and care in putting these videos together, so grateful. Can you do a normal deadlift ( or split deadlift ) with weights, hinging down to your shin, or is this to much pressure on the hips, doing research for a client, haven't had a hip replacement in my class as yet. Keep up the great work, have learnt heaps from you, bless you Anja :)
Great and informative video. I'm having a THP in March on my left leg after haveing had a TKR 2.5 years ago on the same leg. That was a very difficult recovery so I'm hoping the hip is easier. I'd like to know how soon after the THR should I start this protocol. Incidentally I'm 74 years old and have good upper body strength but the knee and hip issues have caused my lower body strength to be somewhat sketchy. On one of the leg press macchies I used to be able to do 600 lbs. but that dropped to less than 60 pounds and now I don't even try.
Hi Mark. Thanks for the great insights. I note that most videos deal only with precautions and the dos and fonts during this period. But what about post precaution period. As my operation was a posterior approach can you please give your post precaution opinion on: 1. Sitting and bending to tie my laces 2. Cycling in my drops Your opinion and advice will be much appreciated thank you
These are very helpful - thank you for creating this video! I've struggled to figure out what to do strength wise so I can be better prepared to return to running. Do you have a one-sheeter or download of these exercises that is available?
I just had a bilateral THR with Anterolateral approach...my hip abductor muscles are disturbed and it would be great if you can show a few abductor muscle exercises
Great video!! I've been doing a variety of exercises that were provided by my surgeon. I'm just over two months after a total hip replacement and am wanting to increase flexibility. I had my right hip done and am still having difficulty tying my right shoe and stretching seems to help, but I'm interested in whatever you may suggest to help this progression. Thanks in advance!!
Hi Dude, what an awesome programme - am post surgery +2 weeks tomorrow (Monday 5th) can I progress on these exercises or should I hold back on any please? Thank you 😊
This video is extremely helpful!! I have perthes hip disease and wish to strengthen my hip muscles before I decide on surgery! What kind of hip replace did you receive?
Hi .. I have or had perthes and just had my surgery. Total hip replacement with a rod. And a leg extension . It's 2 months since op and I'm looking for excercises to help build up muscle and movement. At moment I can't lift my knee very high. Can any 1 recommend excercises to help with this . Many thanks .
WOW I am now watching all of your videos!! they are a great Mental and Emotional Push to move forward. Since I might be facing THR on the right side hip. Due to Hip Dysplasia. I have been living all my life in pain. and it is now catching up to me I guess. I have not have had limitations, but now at age 32 it is starting to bother me. And it blows me away that you can do all those exercises! Amazing!! if you don't mind me asking.. What type of replacement do you have on? Ceramic on Plastic?? :-) I use to be able to snowboard & skateboard. But if I do go with the surgery, I will not snowboard or skateboard In fact I already sold my things ;'-( (sad face) I just hope that I can live a close to normal life, I am married and we plan on having kids. I will love to be able to carry my kids as babies. :-( Thanks For Your Videos !!!!
Dear Dr. Surdyka...your videos are great...I had my replacement 7 months ago and wanting to get to things quickly I overdid it and it,popped out last month. After many,emotions and being 59...I'm grateful that it,only,popped and no breaks or tear...things are still very sore...what recommendations you offer as I will restart my physical therapy...I am a little concerned because the trauma from that experience sometimes get in the way....plus what supplements should I invest if any....I apologize if I'm taking too much space but getting answers in our health system is not easy. Appreciate you and Namaste...🙏
Man I’ve nothing but knee pain after my surgery.. all in the patella… I’ve tried to strengthen my quads.. they gave gotten stronger.. but I can get this knee to stop hurting..
Thank you for this. I am an ex dancer and very soon I am.going to have a total hip replacement. After how many days or weeks I can start with this exercises? Thank you from Serbia, Belgrade🙂🌸
Great video! I had a total right hip arthroplasty two days ago. When could I start these exercises? Secondly, I believe the forward leg is the one that's incurred the hip replacement. Yes?
Great Video! Do you have a video for stretching? I am having issues getting into deep stretches : I had a total right hip replacement 15 years ago at age 21. I teach about 10 spin classes per week, weight train, all of the things, but cannot manipulate the 'joint' to alleviate the gluteal knots, and the super tight hip flexor I have.
Thank you for your wonderful advice. How long after hip replacement should these exercises be started. Is it alright to start them straight away if I feel up to it. Much appreciated.
excellent exercises. All of these are also achieved with yoga. My surgeon freaked me out with the threat of dislocation so I don't put my chest on my thighs anymore. I do concentrate on building strength all around my hips, more so than I did before the replacements a year ago. One hip flexor still gives me fits and prevents me from being able to hang from the trapeze and lift my knees up to my chest. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the video. This is a great channel. I will be undergoing hip resurfacing in several months and currently have moderate osteoarthritis. I'd like to modify my current gym workout to prepare for the surgery. Any chance you could suggest pre operative exercises with and without access to gym equipment? I know it's a tremendous amount of work but a video would be great. Specifically I'm interested in knowing if the osteoarthritis is a concern for some exercises. Or if it's better to focus on mobility for the joint and just press on regardless of discomfort. Thanks.
Hi, Hugh. Pretty much all of the exercises here can be done with or without access to a gym. You might be able to get some ideas from the other training video as well.
Which implant was used in your THR? What was the technique used in your surgery, was it total anterior approach or Minimum invasive technique or traditional posterior approach?
some body really cated about you. when i woke up from my first HR they remedied some meg mength discrepancy to make my llagss/hip even. it popped out luckily while iwas q pssanger and i screamed it really affected my mom senses but i get to hospial got fit with new zimmer --it lasts a feew yers but develped metalosis from the device breaking and rubbing againt each other, i was rushed to ouhio for a third hipand bone graft and wires. terrified that one day i wont catch myelf falling in th4 ice or whatever. legs uneven now i suffer back pain. im astonished youre treating that thing like its going to last forever. ironic- my elbow from 09 has giving me minimal issues so it ccan happen
Hi, I’m 28 I’ve lifted weights my whole life and I just had a total hip replacement 4 weeks ago. The surgery was arthroscopic. Everything I read says to not extend, hinge, or cross my surgical leg back because it could dislocate. However, my physical therapist thinks I would be safe doing motions such as lunging, single leg dead lifting, and sitting crossed legged position. In your experience when did you feel safe performing these exercises? It’s not that I don’t feel capable to perform these actions I’m just very nervous to mess anything up. Anything you can tell me about your first couple weeks after surgery would be amazing and when you felt confident performing certain movements.
Hello Doctor, I hope you are well! My surgery was a posterior approach but when I lift or make an upward movement of my knee I hear a sound in my hip like bone on bone, I'm somewhat worried.
This is amazing. I’m having surgery soon but I’m having bilateral anterior so I’m not sure if any of this will be the same help with both hips being done. Can’t find anything on RUclips with exercise from someone who’s had both hips done. What are your thoughts
My both hip joints are replaced and am 21 year old.... And am suffering from ankylosing spondylitis so please guide me what should i do?? And recommend me some exercises
81 yrs but athelete going in no arthritis a fall accident fractured stem of femur and next day Monday total hip anterior replacement. I want to toss cane walk no waddle and dance again…. Oh diagnosed osteoporosis two weeks after. Advise
I have a question, but would like to detail my hip replacement and where I am at now and then ask your opinion on running and jogging. First, I had a total hip replacement about 2 1/2 years ago and went through the normal rehab over the next few months. By approximately 6 months later, I began playing soccer with my young sons. I did have a setback at one point, as I experienced some type of pinched nerve issues that even limited my normal gait when walking. About 4 months ago, I again returned to a significant increase in exercises, stretching, cardio, squats, some light jogging and a wide variety of total body exercises. What is your experience and advice regarding returning to running? I'd like to do it all, but I'm looking for advice from those that have the life experience on this matter and are further down the road than myself. Thank you
Great videos great advice. I have perthes or did . Just had a total hip replacement on a spike like yours. And a leg extension. I'm finding it really hard to lift my knee up to my chest. Very stiff but not painful. Doctor said it's a tight capsule where hip sits. Can u recommend any good stretches or excercises for this. Many thanks
Hey Dr i had a hip replacement last yr Sept on my left hip, i am 47yrs old now and after goin to 2 Therapist my right thigh feels swollen compared to my left and wen it comes to balance am still a bit off so am askn if these exercises will help ?

Can't in Kansas Dr. Dr. What exercises can I do when I have Spinal Stenosis in my back, my knees are needing replaced, and I've already had a L total hip replacement from 04 (43 y.o) that's going to need replaced a second time- and I have had Inguinal R.side, Hiatal, Umbilical Hernia surgeries as well,,,,,all from factory work with the exception of my hip, born with Hip Dysplasia L side prominent
Marc, I’m having my hip replaced next week (anterior) and I know I’ll have recovery protocol to abide by, but I’m wondering how long should I wait to do non hip exercises, such as strict pull-ups, dips, bench press etc…
I loved way you showing exercise. 3 years back i have done Hip replacement. My implant was cop large headed 40size ball without screw. Still i can't bring my knee to chest. I have stiffness in my hip joint. How can i eliminate this stiffness? Plz suggest some exercise for eliminate stiffness.
Lol I guess it's okay not to being able to bend the knee to your chest. My healthy normal right leg can't be bent this far either.. I guess it's normal
Hi. I'm 30 and had perthes . Had a total hip replacement on a spike thing lol. And leg extension. This was 2 months ago and can't bring lift me knee to chest. Probley only 20 percent up. It's very stiff and just stops but not painful. Is this normal. Have you found anything as excercises which helps. Hope your recovery is going well . Thanks

Be careful with your rehab! Your physiotherapist will give you a booklet which will tell you what you can do and when.
If you overdo it you’re in for pretty severe pain.
I overdid it about 4 mos. after my THR and have really suffered for it.
By ALL means rehab but only what your current state of fitness can handle. Best wishes!
may I contact you to tell me about your surgery experience?
I did both my hips replaced exactly one year ago. Each time I bend down to pickup something from the floor, I literally can't help smiling feeling no pain at all!

Thank you very much! You really encourage me to keep moving.
Yes what can I do not to have dislocation
Thank you so much,I just bumped into this video...last year I had a hip replacement surgery and after 6 weeks I kinda stopped doing exercises and now I see that I'm losing muscles.

Hello Dr. Mark: Great video! I am just past 12 weeks post-THR on right with posterior approach. My health plan includes 6 post-op sessions with PT, which I've just finished and she was very pleased with my progress. Next week, I'm going to start two weekly classes: A ballet barre class & yoga/meditation class. I will modify both as needed. I have 15 years dance experience, but not able to dance for several years due to hip, back and other injuries from car accident, from which I've slowly been healing (brain injury too). I'll be incorporating your program a few days a week, on my non-class days, and also adding swimming, walking and biking -- all in moderation. My biggest goal is to be able to ride a horse again. I'm doing a lot of slow gentle, hip flexion, glute and hamstring stretches, and practicing climbing onto a padded chair and simulating motion of hips rocking on a horse. Any other suggestions? I still have a bit of sharp pain toward the outside of the hip while doing that. It will be another few weeks before my riding class starts.

Great video, I had an anterior hip replacement and now have trendelenburg
is it okay now?
I'm a year and 2 years out of both hips and have been looking for more exercises!! I had a hybrid approach! Love this!! Would love some 30 minutes bikes exercise videos and 30 minutes exercise videos !!
Great set, explanation and video montage. Keep up with the good work, mate!
Thank you!
I am 31 and Need a hip replacement. I have hesitated a lot on doing it but the comments and video give me courage to go forward.
Thank you so much for this guide dude!
Looking forward for my total hip replacement right leg next month!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks a lot, excellent video !!!!, at home without special equipment. Very informative.
Greetings from Chile.
Love it , good stuff, if I may say, make sure you let your viers know several times your at a advanced level here. Im 65 yro L total hip 7 weeks out...This is all relavent to age and previous condition ...Im doing sit to stand, kettle bell dead lift and multiple machines, Ill be adding in this to my home exercise program, thanks great stuff!!
Excellent presentation. Thank you!
One of the best videos on the topic. Many thanks.
No problem!
Thanks this really helps. I realized watching this that I am not strong enough to start actual lifting. I need to master these first and then I can progress to the next level.
This video is life changing!! I am waiting for ganz surgery for my hip dysplasia but due to the corona virus almost all surgeries are put on hold in Sweden.
I am in a lot of pain all the time and I need to use a weelchair to get around outside of my house. It have been very difficult to find exercises that can strengthen my hip area without causing too much extra pain.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and these exercises.
Hope it helps!
Thank you. This is the best video to date - not much out there, particularly for us who were high performing going into our op. Wk 11 and I have been doing some of these for the past several weeks. Will be looking for material to prepare for running.
Yes, I needed this so much!!!
Hope it helps!
@@E3Rehab better than the orthopedic clinics hyper pts with ADHD! 😂
Hey I'm fully healed now 1 and 2 years out from THR on both sides...can you do a bunch of 30 minutes exercise videos that are safe but effective ❤❤
I am glad I found your channel.
The rehab excercises just too basic needed something more challenging that I can progress through. Actually was doing many of the exercises before my surgery as prehab ( not knowing they would be beneficial)
I want to get back to golf ASAP.
Any golf specific exercises you can suggest. Right Hip THR.
Check out the more recent hip replacement video as it shows examples of higher level training including medicine ball throws that might be helpful for golf. Otherwise, just generalized resistance training is great!
@@E3Rehab thanks
Dic, really enjoy this video because most patients have no clue as to how to continue strengthening the hips/muscles once outpatient PT is over. At least for me being active andvwhat to continue being active, I'm not sure what to do. I've been following you for a couple months since I'm also here in Los Angeles. I've considered coming to your practice for further training.. I don't want any issues with my body and hips after going through this. I need to get 30 lbs off and continue on my fitness journey. So I appreciate your posts on the things I can do after THR. I'm a double Hippie it hasn't been easy accepting this but it is my new reality.. I teach zumba and was told I can return to teaching but also I need to make sure I strengthen my glutes to hold the implant.. well how what can and can't I do. Appreciate any suggestions
Thank you for putting something up for after the basic THR exercises!!! I am practicing these now plus spin bike workouts before surgery.
hey kat how u feeling ? i mean how long can u stand
@@bigbull2021 I haven't had my surgery yet! But I'm educating myself now and getting my body strong for this challenge. Dec 16th is my surgery date.
@@KatJ3st How did your surgery go?
@@shanliz I'm 13 days post op and not using walker or crutches much. I can't see a physio till the 4th and the basic exercises are pretty boring now. All my swelling and most bruising has gone already! My inner thighs look so flaccid though. Thankfully I did a Tom of core strength training pre op and it has helped me recovery much faster for sure! Plus an amazing surgeon. Tiny posterior incision and no staples!😉
Thank you ❤️❤️
I needed this ❤️
Really great stuff!
I wish you were in New York 😔. 6 years post-op and I still cant trust my replacement. My PT never showed me this, it was stretch then the bike. I'm definitely gonna start with these. Thank you for these videos.
Thank you! Super helpful information and guidelines.
Enjoy the progressive nature of the exercises. It really gives us something to shoot for. One question ; do you recommend we only work the surgical leg or both so that we have equal R/L hip workouts. I’m hoping that your exercises will allow my surgical side to catch up to the opposite, stronger side so I’ve only been doing the one side.Thanks
Hey, not the Dr., but to my knowledge it's best to do both legs since you're doing the same or similar weight and doing them individually. Eventually the weaker leg will catch up.
I am happy to have come across you. Your exercises are the best progression that I have seen so far n the most challenging. I just completed 3 months after my right THP. Are these exercises applicable to me though I have been doing toffee of them. Thanks.
It would help if you identify which hip was replaced while doing the exercises
Amazing progressions
Thank you!
Good video! Have a good day!
Excellent. Thank you. I'm at wk 2 and looking to gradually up my physio. Pleased to have found your website.
Awesome video.
Great video. 👍🏼
Thank you so much!
Great exercises and explanations. However, which hip did you replace? Left or right? I've replaced my right hip. You don't mention which hip should be in focus.
thank you so much for all of your information! I am 6 weeks postop anterior right hip replacement. I also need my left hip done for severe OA, but in the meantime I’m trying to rehab myself. My physio is great but she’s at a bit of a loss of what to do with me because I am much more physically capable than any patient she has seen before. I was able to maintain a very high level of strength preop, but with the expected reduced ROM and some muscle weakness due to the pain. I was wondering if you could pls do a video on how best to progress to plyo moves? Thank you again! I appreciate your channel and have subscribed to your IG and your blog as well!
Hi, thank you so much for your time and care in putting these videos together, so grateful. Can you do a normal deadlift ( or split deadlift ) with weights, hinging down to your shin, or is this to much pressure on the hips, doing research for a client, haven't had a hip replacement in my class as yet. Keep up the great work, have learnt heaps from you, bless you Anja :)
Yes, I can deadlift without issue unless I approach failure with relatively heavy weight (then I experience slight discomfort).
Yay! I just had mine 2 1/2 months ago
Thanks a lot
Great and informative video. I'm having a THP in March on my left leg after haveing had a TKR 2.5 years ago on the same leg. That was a very difficult recovery so I'm hoping the hip is easier. I'd like to know how soon after the THR should I start this protocol. Incidentally I'm 74 years old and have good upper body strength but the knee and hip issues have caused my lower body strength to be somewhat sketchy. On one of the leg press macchies I used to be able to do 600 lbs. but that dropped to less than 60 pounds and now I don't even try.
I loved your work 👊👍
Thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for , thank you so much . I am now 4weeks post THR are they all suitable for this stage of my recovery ?
Hi Mark.
Thanks for the great insights.
I note that most videos deal only with precautions and the dos and fonts during this period. But what about post precaution period.
As my operation was a posterior approach can you please give your post precaution opinion on:
1. Sitting and bending to tie my laces
2. Cycling in my drops
Your opinion and advice will be much appreciated thank you
These are very helpful - thank you for creating this video! I've struggled to figure out what to do strength wise so I can be better prepared to return to running. Do you have a one-sheeter or download of these exercises that is available?
Not at the moment.
I just had a bilateral THR with Anterolateral approach...my hip abductor muscles are disturbed and it would be great if you can show a few abductor muscle exercises
Great video!! I've been doing a variety of exercises that were provided by my surgeon. I'm just over two months after a total hip replacement and am wanting to increase flexibility. I had my right hip done and am still having difficulty tying my right shoe and stretching seems to help, but I'm interested in whatever you may suggest to help this progression. Thanks in advance!!
How is it now? The range of motion often improves gradually over time after surgery.
Hi Dude, what an awesome programme - am post surgery +2 weeks tomorrow (Monday 5th) can I progress on these exercises or should I hold back on any please?
Thank you 😊
This video is extremely helpful!! I have perthes hip disease and wish to strengthen my hip muscles before I decide on surgery! What kind of hip replace did you receive?
I highly recommend watching the other video if you haven't already!
Hi .. I have or had perthes and just had my surgery. Total hip replacement with a rod. And a leg extension . It's 2 months since op and I'm looking for excercises to help build up muscle and movement. At moment I can't lift my knee very high. Can any 1 recommend excercises to help with this . Many thanks .
WOW I am now watching all of your videos!! they are a great Mental and Emotional Push to move forward. Since I might be facing THR on the right side hip. Due to Hip Dysplasia. I have been living all my life in pain. and it is now catching up to me I guess. I have not have had limitations, but now at age 32 it is starting to bother me. And it blows me away that you can do all those exercises! Amazing!!
if you don't mind me asking.. What type of replacement do you have on? Ceramic on Plastic?? :-) I use to be able to snowboard & skateboard. But if I do go with the surgery, I will not snowboard or skateboard In fact I already sold my things ;'-( (sad face)
I just hope that I can live a close to normal life, I am married and we plan on having kids. I will love to be able to carry my kids as babies. :-(
Thanks For Your Videos !!!!
My implant is metal-on-metal which isn't used anymore. Best of luck, Ricky.
Dear Dr. Surdyka...your videos are great...I had my replacement 7 months ago and wanting to get to things quickly I overdid it and it,popped out last month. After many,emotions and being 59...I'm grateful that it,only,popped and no breaks or tear...things are still very sore...what recommendations you offer as I will restart my physical therapy...I am a little concerned because the trauma from that experience sometimes get in the way....plus what supplements should I invest if any....I apologize if I'm taking too much space but getting answers in our health system is not easy. Appreciate you and Namaste...🙏
Man I’ve nothing but knee pain after my surgery.. all in the patella… I’ve tried to strengthen my quads.. they gave gotten stronger.. but I can get this knee to stop hurting..
Thank you for this. I am an ex dancer and very soon I am.going to have a total hip replacement. After how many days or weeks I can start with this exercises?
Thank you from Serbia, Belgrade🙂🌸
Great video! I had a total right hip arthroplasty two days ago. When could I start these exercises? Secondly, I believe the forward leg is the one that's incurred the hip replacement. Yes?
Hi, Karl. I'd discuss that with your surgeon. Yes, the forward leg is the one with a THA but exercises would be performed on both sides ideally.
Great Video! Do you have a video for stretching? I am having issues getting into deep stretches : I had a total right hip replacement 15 years ago at age 21. I teach about 10 spin classes per week, weight train, all of the things, but cannot manipulate the 'joint' to alleviate the gluteal knots, and the super tight hip flexor I have.
Check out the video I did recently that shows my training.
Thank you for your wonderful advice. How long after hip replacement should these exercises be started.
Is it alright to start them straight away if I feel up to it.
Much appreciated.
excellent exercises. All of these are also achieved with yoga. My surgeon freaked me out with the threat of dislocation so I don't put my chest on my thighs anymore. I do concentrate on building strength all around my hips, more so than I did before the replacements a year ago. One hip flexor still gives me fits and prevents me from being able to hang from the trapeze and lift my knees up to my chest. Any suggestions?
I am sorry but your video is too good to be true🎉
Thanks for the video. This is a great channel. I will be undergoing hip resurfacing in several months and currently have moderate osteoarthritis. I'd like to modify my current gym workout to prepare for the surgery. Any chance you could suggest pre operative exercises with and without access to gym equipment? I know it's a tremendous amount of work but a video would be great. Specifically I'm interested in knowing if the osteoarthritis is a concern for some exercises. Or if it's better to focus on mobility for the joint and just press on regardless of discomfort. Thanks.
Hi, Hugh. Pretty much all of the exercises here can be done with or without access to a gym. You might be able to get some ideas from the other training video as well.
What hip did your have surgery? Do you work both hips or focus on the hip that was replaced?
Which implant was used in your THR?
What was the technique used in your surgery, was it total anterior approach or Minimum invasive technique or traditional posterior approach?
some body really cated about you. when i woke up from my first HR they remedied some meg mength discrepancy to make my llagss/hip even. it popped out luckily while iwas q pssanger and i screamed it really affected my mom senses but i get to hospial got fit with new zimmer --it lasts a feew yers but develped metalosis from the device breaking and rubbing againt each other, i was rushed to ouhio for a third hipand bone graft and wires. terrified that one day i wont catch myelf falling in th4 ice or whatever. legs uneven now i suffer back pain. im astonished youre treating that thing like its going to last forever. ironic- my elbow from 09 has giving me minimal issues so it ccan happen
Hi, I’m 28 I’ve lifted weights my whole life and I just had a total hip replacement 4 weeks ago. The surgery was arthroscopic.
Everything I read says to not extend, hinge, or cross my surgical leg back because it could dislocate. However, my physical therapist thinks I would be safe doing motions such as lunging, single leg dead lifting, and sitting crossed legged position.
In your experience when did you feel safe performing these exercises? It’s not that I don’t feel capable to perform these actions I’m just very nervous to mess anything up.
Anything you can tell me about your first couple weeks after surgery would be amazing and when you felt confident performing certain movements.
may I contact you to tell me about your experience? in surgery
Hello Doctor, I hope you are well! My surgery was a posterior approach but when I lift or make an upward movement of my knee I hear a sound in my hip like bone on bone, I'm somewhat worried.
Awesome. Have you concidered doing a video on total knee replacement considerations as well?
Likely will in the future!
This is amazing. I’m having surgery soon but I’m having bilateral anterior so I’m not sure if any of this will be the same help with both hips being done. Can’t find anything on RUclips with exercise from someone who’s had both hips done. What are your thoughts
The overall rehabilitation will be similar, but the recovery timeline will likely be a bit slower.
I had a posterior hip replacement four weeks ago is it viable for me to start doing these exercises that you are showing?
My both hip joints are replaced and am 21 year old.... And am suffering from ankylosing spondylitis so please guide me what should i do?? And recommend me some exercises
Pls give me Ur contact number
@@karthikg6224 why you need my contact number bro
81 yrs but athelete going in no arthritis a fall accident fractured stem of femur and next day Monday total hip anterior replacement. I want to toss cane walk no waddle and dance again…. Oh diagnosed osteoporosis two weeks after. Advise
I have had both hips replaced already can I do the same routine but alternating legs? My hips just don’t feel as strong as they used to.
You move great. How long did it take you to get to this point
I have a question, but would like to detail my hip replacement and where I am at now and then ask your opinion on running and jogging. First, I had a total hip replacement about 2 1/2 years ago and went through the normal rehab over the next few months. By approximately 6 months later, I began playing soccer with my young sons. I did have a setback at one point, as I experienced some type of pinched nerve issues that even limited my normal gait when walking. About 4 months ago, I again returned to a significant increase in exercises, stretching, cardio, squats, some light jogging and a wide variety of total body exercises. What is your experience and advice regarding returning to running? I'd like to do it all, but I'm looking for advice from those that have the life experience on this matter and are further down the road than myself. Thank you
Wow, those legs!
Great videos great advice. I have perthes or did . Just had a total hip replacement on a spike like yours. And a leg extension. I'm finding it really hard to lift my knee up to my chest. Very stiff but not painful. Doctor said it's a tight capsule where hip sits. Can u recommend any good stretches or excercises for this. Many thanks
Unable to give specific ideas without an evaluation.
Thanks for the great video
When you allow full hip flexion and the other ROM.
Ayub Khan.. H.aap bhi.hip replacement karale kya..AAP..kha se ho.please reply......

Thanks man I was looking how to strengthen my hip because I am having total hip replacement almost two months ago but afraid to move around????
Can't in Kansas
Dr. Dr. What exercises can I do when I have Spinal Stenosis in my back, my knees are needing replaced, and I've already had a L total hip replacement from 04 (43 y.o) that's going to need replaced a second time- and I have had Inguinal R.side, Hiatal, Umbilical Hernia surgeries as well,,,,,all from factory work with the exception of my hip, born with Hip Dysplasia L side prominent
How soon after surgery can you do those exercises, I’m 2 weeks out with anterior approach
Thanks
I'd discuss that with your surgeon.
Marc,
I’m having my hip replaced next week (anterior) and I know I’ll have recovery protocol to abide by, but I’m wondering how long should I wait to do non hip exercises, such as strict pull-ups, dips, bench press etc…
I had screw both total Hip replacement..
Can i sit cross leg??
I loved way you showing exercise. 3 years back i have done Hip replacement. My implant was cop large headed 40size ball without screw.
Still i can't bring my knee to chest. I have stiffness in my hip joint. How can i eliminate this stiffness? Plz suggest some exercise for eliminate stiffness.
Lol I guess it's okay not to being able to bend the knee to your chest. My healthy normal right leg can't be bent this far either.. I guess it's normal
@@buzzbikegearofficial Are you hip replacement patient? Do you know why and what is my concern? Plz if don’t understand don’t comment.
@@OmarFaruk-mv5wb i also have AVN and I'm on schedule for THR by the beginning of next year at the age of 27. Just wanted to cheer you up mate..

Hi
Is it good to do both sides while doing the squat/ step up exercises or just the operated side?
