It is very important to exercise after hip surgery to keep your hip and leg from getting stiff. Some discomfort is normal, but exercising after pain medications and after using covered ice packs on your hip for 15 minutes before exercising may reduce this.
Wear socks or stockings to protect your heel for sliding exercises and shoes for the standing exercises. Do the exercises with the operated leg, three times a
day, 10-15 times each. Your physiotherapist will provide you with exercises and teach you how to do them effectively and safely.
