How Many Days of Physiotherapy Are Needed After Hip Replacement? 🦿

Physiotherapy starts just a few hours after surgery and continues in structured phases to help you walk confidently, regain strength, and return to daily life.

🕒 Phase 1: Day 0 to Day 3

Within 2 to 3 hours after surgery, the first person to visit you will likely be the physiotherapist

You’ll start walking with a walker and learn to sit up, stand, and use the toilet with support

Goal: Activate basic mobility under supervision

🏃 Phase 2: Week 1 to Week 3

Focus on walking with support, eventually phasing it out

Begin strengthening weak hip muscles

Learn to balance, shift weight, and move more confidently

💪 Phase 3: Week 4 to Week 6

Practice climbing stairs, walking outdoors, and even light car driving

Advanced muscle strengthening and coordination work

This phase helps you build lasting stability and function

🎯 Most patients need 4 to 6 weeks of regular physiotherapy for a safe, independent recovery. The pace may vary depending on your age, fitness level, and commitment to exercises.
