Posterior hip rehab: Exercises to improve recovery after posterior hip replacement

Our hips are some of the most important centers of movement in the body, carrying us forward through everyday tasks. Those facing a total posterior hip replacement may feel overwhelmed with worry over whether or not they'll be able to recover the range of movement and strength they need to maintain their quality of life.
In this video, physical therapist Melanie Derrick moves through a series of exercises designed to be easy to perform in the safety and comfort of your own home. These exercises are designed to improve recovery after a posterior hip replacement, by gently strengthening the affected muscle groups.
Derrick also speaks advises on why you should not cross your legs after surgery, the best way to comfortably keep your hips elevated, effectively icing the area to prevent painful swelling and how to safely use a walker to stand or sit down throughout the day.

I had my left hip replaced May 14, 2024 Posterior method. The surgery went well and I was walking around that afternoon with a walker. Stayed overnight at hospital. I noticed soon after recovery that I had tingling in my right hand two small fingers. Then my shoulder started hurting and has hurt ever since. I had a doctor visit in June and mentioned that I think they twisted my shoulder wrong. I also had a fully torn Rotator Cuff and repaired 2008. Some loose of movement. I never thought of telling the doctors. I did mention how much pain I had when my Rotator Cuff was repaired. So I told doctor and she seemed unsure of how that would happen. It wasn't like that before surgery. Now it is everyday. I go back in August for a follow up. My hip is doing great and no more pain going down my leg. I am out of shape after dealing with hip pain for over a year. Doctor did tell me I had bad Arthretic Damage to the hip. Also someone told me they know someone that had same issue of arm pain after surgery that they didn't have.

A few exercises I couldn't do. Something in my groin was stopping it. Was catching and pinging, still does it at nearly 15 weeks but not painful like it was.
