I am 74, and had both hips replaced, spaced 4 months apart in 2023. Ran 1st marathon 2 weeks after turning 70. Bicycle over 58000 miles on my old hips. Your video gave me metrics as well as progressive routines, exactly what I was looking for. And gave me hope for continued active lifestyle. Thank you!!
Hello Marc . my name is Claude . I had hip surgery on Oct 3rd. I have been given the go ahead to do exercises to strengthen my hip , core and over all body strength . I came upon your site about various exercises for hip recovery etc... I have started to exercise using your method . I do low reps(6-8) 3 times daily . That was 6 days before I met the doctor . He was amaze at my condition . He advises that I keep doing this for as long as I can (at least one year or more). Thank you for the excellent information . I hope to play hockey again with the 70+ players . Already 3 of my friends had hip replacement surgery . They waited over 14 to 16 months before starting hockey again . I visited them at a hockey game and they were by far the best skaters on ice . Thank you again and wish me the best . Sincerely yours Claude B.
Thanks so much Marc. I am 4 months out with an anterior hip replacement at the age of 65. I am physically active, ski both downhill and Nordic skate skiing mountain biking etc. Things are going great! I have 10 days out skiing in the back country… gently! You are my go to one stop shopping guy. I have just retired from 35 years of commercial flying and has such I tend to be a critical thinker. You come about things in the same analytical way and I can totally relate to your modality. Thanks again my friend I have passed your video on to friends, who are going through the same journey as I. Take a moment to feel proud of yourself you deserve it.
😊75 years old I am 6 weeks post op, posterior approach. The first 7 to 10 days we rough due to so much bruising. Doing so much better and have booked a cruise for July!
You are the first person I feel relates to my situation. I am 56 and had total hip replacement in Sept. I enjoy my physical therapy sessions and want to keep up my strength training. Your information is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Thank you!!
i'm 53 years old and had a left hip replacement 4 months ago. i just found this video. This is priceless information.This has helped with me finding how far i can push. At the moment i walk about 8 kms each time i go for a walk. but these exercises will help so much.
This is great! 60year old, total hip replacement 6months ago. Used to be an acrobat. This is the first video on this subject that I've found that gives me what I need to get back my fitness, well on the way and you've given me a few new exercises to do! Very happy, thankyou!
Hi! I’m Suzanne. I just turned 46. I had a total hip replacement 6 months ago, posterior approach. Previously (age 13) had a tumor In the ball of my femur. I feel I’m regaining stamina and strength slowly, but I do have noticeable improvement each week.
Lots of positive comments so sorry to lower the tone. I am 77 and had a hip replacement in November. You say 'whatever your age' but there isn't even one of your exercises I can manage. Even if I could, there's no way I could get up from the floor!
I'm 70 now...But I had Both Hips Replaced 4 years ago... It took me 24 months to be able to simply walk again with the Hip replacements.... As of this writing...May 21, 2024....I Still Cannot Pick Myself Up Off the Floor.... I Have Determined That If I Want To Be Able To Get Up Off the Floor....I Must Strengthen My Hip Flexors....So That's What I'm Doing....I've been Going Up and Down the Stairs Everyday.... After 2 weeks...I Can Climb up the Stairs With No Assistance or Support.... I Plan On Being Able To Get Up Off The Ground...Unassisted....Within 6 Weeks.... I'll Keep You Posted On My Progress....
Thank you, THR at 63, stated using weights for upper body at 6 weeks, lower body sit to to stand, bridges with bands clam shells with bands, calve raises, standing on one leg one minute, after week 9 added lower body weights ( 8 pound dumbbells / deadlifts, wide leg squats, gluts bridges, side leg with band, split squats, Tex deep squats ( no weight) just body, added more protein to diet, increased weight to 10 pounds, just added kettleball for some level work.. feeling strong
All your videos are life savers. I did a lot of weight lifting/functional strength/other fitness before my surgery 3 weeks ago, and I've been having trouble getting any information on what long term fitness will look like after the initial months of recovery. And although my half marathons are probably going to be replaced with long walks and cycling, it's good to see you doing split squats and deadlifts with kettlebells! So thank you!
Thank you Marc!!!! I am 56 and was active before my two hip replacements. I was very disappointed in the types of post-surgery exercises I was given. I wanted to progress further in my rehab. I am so grateful for your site. I now have hope that I will be able to get back to doing so many of the activities I love. Thank you.
Marc, thanks for sharing all your ideas and experiences. I am from Brazil and just had a total hip replacement in my left leg. 34 years ago, I had a car accident and had to put a screw in my left hip. After all those years, swimming, weight lifting, and controlling my body wait, the pain arrived, and the hip replacement was necessary. Now, I am 57 years old. The surgery was two weeks ago. I am feeling better and better every day. I am happy to find you on CZcams, and I plan to follow your suggestions as better as I can. Thanks for sharing your successful story!
This is an amazing, crazy informative video without being long and drawn out. Thank you very much for giving me a clear understanding on what I need to do for a proper recovery. Congratulations on yours. I’m sure you are appreciated by many. Keep up the great work! Cheers.
Love the info at age 69 two years ago had a replacement. Went to a gym got a trainer, can do everything now. Only what’s new for me just keep working at whatever. Don’t even think about it anymore. And gotten to like the new. Everyone just keep going and trying. Worth the effort. You can do it. Don’t stop.
Hi, l am 50yrs old and less than 2 weeks l will be having (first) Full hip replacement, abit nervous. CZcams is giving me some positivity, with having this done.
Great timing! I'm 46 years old 2 1/2 months ago I finally had a left hip replacement from AVN in my teens. Dealt with it for 30 years, so I'm way past ready for this. :) Would like to add that many of these weighted exercises can be done with resistance bands at home as well.
57 now and I just had my second revision. First was a clear defect, second just wear. Other than the pain of surgery and recovery (first two took about a year to get close to normal), it is magic.
I’m 61, had THR on my right side when I was 59 after a bicycle accident. I was back on the bicycle after two months. I don’t recall the type of procedure but they made one large incision. I was surprised how long recovery took. After one year I’d say I was at 80%. Physical therapy to strengthen the hip muscles is critical and in my opinion should be ongoing indefinitely to maintain mobility and strength. It’s been 2 1/2 years, I have since retired and working out at home has become my focus. I’m still working on strength training and mobility, it’s not perfect but I cant complain.
Thank you for this clear and concise video! I just had my right hip replaced 25 days ago at age 39. I will be coming back to this video as my healing progresses. This recovery has turned out to be more than I expected, it I didn't really study up on it! My procedure took place at Duke University. They corrected 36 degrees of misalignment in my femur from a prior femur fracture repair and lengthened my femur 1/2" by way of lateral entry.
Came to you from "squat univ.", have both hips resurfaced, almost 60 of age from Germany, with one side having waited years too long, now your page is exactly what "We" need, get back to sports, performance, life and not living in fear of dislocation for the rest of our lifes 😅... There are enourmous lot of people worldwide who want to Judo, Karate, Run and Jump and not caution themeselfs endlessly and look for a way to come back to squatting! Have my deepest thankfulness for your job and videos, keep on, you really service mankind! God bless you, man!
Listen...I too had exact same thing as he did..but the fact is after THR you lose 13% lmuscle from various locations due to the trauma. Dont push yourself and wind up having to get a revision. Being young and stupid is making you think you have to be what you were. You dont. Just do what you enjoy.
Amazing, I am having a total hip replacement this month. I've been strengthening my core body strength, especially in the hip area, hoping it improves recovery.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 3 months post anterior right hip replacement and 3 weeks post anterior left hip replacement due to hip dysplasia and resulting osteoarthritis. All the progressions you provided are so helpful and made me less fearful about movement and possible hip dislocation.
Thank you for this video. I am especially encouraged by your words on flexibility. I am 5 1/2 months and 2 1/2 months out from double anterior total hip replacements at 71. PT has been wonderful, and I am pleased that I have been doing most of these exercises three x's per week. Although I can get down on the floor, I can only "sit" in a raised kneeling position, and getting up involves a reverse bear crawl. The loss of flexibility has been most frustrating, but based on your advise, I will just patiently apply a little pressure on figure four and wait for more healing.
Thanks for this video! I’m 69 years old and had a TBI as a teenager that left me with weakness on my left side as well as a limp. I had my left knee replaced in 2017 and my right hip replaced in December 2023. Because of some life long limitations, and prior replacements, rehab has been more challenging than I anticipated. Your video gave me a path for future goals and as well as developing a more realistic mindset.
I am 4 months post Left THR. This is my third THR ( 2 on the Right) in the past 17 years. I'm quite active and I'm excited about your video. I feel like PT takes care of the easy stuff after THR - but once you meet all the recovery metrics - they don't do much to help you get stronger. Looking forward to your exercises and to regaining my strength on both hips! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I had my hip at 58 but I have MS and a lot of weakness in that leg. I have been afraid of it popping out and it is so hard to exercise. The double fears have really messed with my recovery. I now believe you that I can try, I have to try to regain my strength and flexibility. thanks
Thanks for making this video! I felt there was an empty space between my functional Physical Therapy and getting me back into the competitive sports I enjoy. I really needed to hear the advice to progress the difficulty of these 7 areas, and to be ok with my own timeline. I am about 3.5 months out from a posterior approach hip replacement (congenital hip dysplasia). I finally got it replaced at 50, but miss my sports so much. It has been mentally tough on me. Great to see down the road a bit.
This is very helpful. I’m 51 and I had an infection in my native hip from a cortisone shot given to treat a torn labrum that I believe happened from marathon training. 1st surgery was for the antibiotic spacer, which was like health purgatory. 2nd surgery was for the permanent hip replacement. I’m one month removed from the 2nd surgery and trying to find my path forward to something resembling my previously active life. Unfortunately I know long distance running is out; I’m not yet sure about jiu jitsu. This information helps me come up with a recovery plan for the next several months.
I'm watching your videos with great interest, since I'm two weeks out from a right hip replacement, anterior type. Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed videos.
Hi I’m 46 years old I had my first hip replacement 9 months ago and my 2nd hip replacement 1 1/2 month ago I’m feeling great, I’m already going to the gym and doing some of this exercises at home.
Great video & content! Thank you. I had a full hip replacement back in August, was really good about doing my PT but have been in a slump & not progressing as I felt I should be. Got busy with kids sports & kinda fell off my wagon & again just feeling defeated. I look forward to getting back on track & accepting my limits for now. But watching the way you move, gives me great hope that I will enjoy moving again & the fun of moving will be regained.
You lose 13% muscle thr. I had exact same thing as he did and had a replacement very young and you should not be doing things like a teenager. You need to respect what you have and understand they wear out. Revisions are a thing,
I'm 53 and 6 weeks out on anterior hip replacement with a dual mobility device. My surgeon said get back to normal as pain allows. Pain is still significant in groin. My PT is getting gym exercises together for me on next visit but this video was very helpful and informative.
Hey Mark, many thanks for this video. I’ve been looking forward to it since you announced it coming in one of your previous videos. Does not disappoint !!. You covered many exercises I like to do. I do them circuit style, I also like to use slam balls for slams squats & wall throws with controlled movement nothing too heavy tho. I always work out to my heart rate. I find this works best for me. Thanks for this video there should be more information out there for people with hip replacement who have always led active lives and want to continue doing so but are too scared to try.
Amazing, super informative video. I wish they will be more high value videos with exercise on CZcams. Great content with great examples, I can tell you are a professional with lots of experience. Thank you for your work and making the video.
Thanks! Posterior approach and 3 months post op.....it's taking time, as I'm 70 and osteoporotic. I walk a great deal and can do some of these. Appreciate your video.
Me auto subscribe to this channel after watching this video. Very systematic, detailed with good presentation of the progressions. Thanks for sharing ❤️God bless you
Almost one year in, anterior approach. 56 year old drywall finisher. I've pretty much beat this ol body up for 35 years. Out of the gate was feeling good after PT. I slacked on exercise and now I believe I'm paying for it. ( I'm Superman right!?, i can do anything. Well in my head yes. Body says nope)My wife and I just joined the senior gym in our area. I've gone a few times and I don't have a clue as far as what to do. I'm realizing that yes...I have restrictions now, I'm not Superman. You sir have given the hope and info that I was looking for to at least carry the red cape again! I'm in it to win it as of tomorrow! Thank you so much and I wish the best for you!
Thanks for the video. Left total hip replacement Posterior, with dual mobility cups. I've been in Martial arts for 41 years and the past year been training in Brazillian Jiu- Jitsu so I'm definitely looking at exercises to strenthen everything that will help hold the new joint in place. I'm 9 1/2 weeks post op right now and will still be doing Physical therapy for another momth or so. My surgeon and physical therapist both say I am several weeks ahead of their other patients that have had the surgery due to I was still training hard up to a few days before the surgery even though I had no catelage left. Yes, it hurt like the devil but I just made modification as much as I could to use the left hip and leg as little as possible. Hard to fight as well as the others but at least i got a good work out and was in shape before the surgery. I also loaded up before on carbs, protein , (deer meat) and D3 before and after. I've got a ways to go before I can go full bore on the mat in Jiu- Jitsu but working towards it smart not crazy.
This is a great video on what you can do post 9 months THR. I feel we are told what we can't do and you enlighten people what you can do post surgery. I wish Orthopedic doctors would educate there patients on what they can do post surgery like you have done. I'm a PTA and I had a THR 20 years ago and its doing well. I check my blood for metal about 5 years ago and the results were negative. Believer it or not but the one thing that aggravates my hip is when I kick a soccer ball. I also do biking but I do gravel biking around the SF bay trail. Just one suggestion, It would be awesome to have a total hip replacement manufacture come on your show to interview to ask question regarding there perspective on exercises, taking care of the components and longevity.
Just had a THR 7 months ago. Had three trauma surgeries… Had to remove a femoral rod as well as two screws in the knee… Prior surgery the doctor had removed the screw heads because they were poking through my bone into my skin… They tried to remove the rod through my knee, the first time and then I had to rehab my knee back. The second time they were going through a bonus, the autotomy, which is like a keyhole break from my lateral thigh up To my glutes…. They couldn’t remove it like this so they had to re-break my knee and then finally did the total hip replacement on top of all of this. I am worried because my knee is severely rotating medially now. I want to strengthen and I’m now scared to push myself or do anything bc I don’t know if I am hurting rather than helping. I will be seeing my chiropractor/pt regarding this but have to pay out of pocket. I’d like to do this on my own though and feel this video may really help me so thank you kindly for making this for everyone. Any other advice from anyone else - I will gladly take it bc my hip is super achy as is my knee at this point : ( Really worried and I’m wondering if this is just from me not doing the exercises. I was extensively traveling for work and slacked on my exercises for about 2 weeks but then did aqua aerobics where I was and it hurt really really badly afterwards so I fell back a bit on that too. I am completely discouraged and worried. Any advice - please - I will gladly take. Ty everyone. Happy healing to everyone on here
I had a rt total hip, anterior approach 4 years ago. I started rehab with a contracted hip and rehabbed that by walking. I now walk 6-10 miles a day, strength train almost daily and train jiu-jitsu 4 x a week at age 72.
So far this is best resource for me so far Had total left hip replacement June 22 /23 Do therapy 2days a week and modify as needed with CrossFit 4 days a week.(10 yrs L1 teacher) Awesome job describing progressions. I’m an aggressive athlete and it’s hard to modify to easiest progression but your explanation of the movements is a huge encouragement for me to listen to my gym coaches advice to back off more even tho the weight is light to me. Hope to keep connected with ur channel. 👊🏻👊🏻 thanks a ton‼️
Done a shit load of roids and you can recover just as if not better. Sincerely... Someone who did roids in the military and as a DOD contractor for over a decade. Exercises and advice are great. but his "cred" gets tossed out when his size and definition are anything but "normal". And PS. Going in for my own hip replacement here January 24.
I loved your video. I havent had a total hip replacement, but an open Synovectomy ( opened from side of hip). You touched on some key points such as not being scared of pain but also not looking for it. This was key, at the hospital I was forced into moving asap and I need to constantly check my thoughts and understand that remaining 100% pain free 2 years after the OP may not be possible as I am very active. Greetings from Switzerland.
This is a very great video! I agree I feel as though there isn’t enough resources out there to progress individuals in returning back to a gym. These are some great examples!
I am 73 old male just had my right replaced for the third time ,these exercises are a total no no as my revision was classes as major surgery . I am pain free ,can walk ,swim , and upper body exercise at the gym , am more than happy with my situation !
Thank you so much for all of your videos!!!! They're very informative and encouraging. Preparing for my first hip replacement (for lifelong displasia) at a much younger age than I had expected. Both of my hips are pretty bad, so as long as my recovery goes well after the first one, I will probably be looking at doing my other one within a year too. I'm sure I will frequently refer back to your content.
Mine was a right side and they use ceramic replacements now. No pain just pain from sor muscles redeveloping muscle and strength. I am cautious not to overdue. I am making progress at 9 weeks as a 70 year old. I do tend to push myself but not brutally. I'm on target
I am 61 years old and had right side done 2 months ago, and I am about to have the left side done in one week. As of right now, because of the pain on left side, I have difficulty doing some exercises for the right side. I am taking it easy for now and plan to get into exercises more once left side is done. It is little bit frustrating.
I'm 58 had a Total hip replacement of my left hip last year in December 2023 ,bit next late spring Will have tò replace also the fight hip due to bilateral coxarthrosis . The 1st surgery has gone well last year. Hope that the next surgery Will go well aswell and resolve my current low health situation .
Hi Marc Great video. I had a hip Arthroscopy, labral repair and reshape of the femoral head and lebral. My lebral was mostly removed as it was 90% destroyed. Its been 3 weeks now and i feel no pain. I have been doing all the post surgery exercises at home every day and feel great. Would you recommend i do some of your exercise? I'm 44 live in the UK and have a active job and have loved working out all my life. Your advice would be really appreciated. Thanks, looking forward to your response Nitin
Hi, John here. I'm 55. I found your channel looking for info. on hip surgery, which I had on Oct,. 12th 2023. I have a question, if you can please answer this. I was doing great with my THR recovery for the first 9 weeks or so. Came home 8 days after surgery and was using only the cane. Was also to walk around the house without any aide. Started PT and was doing great with the exercises. (I was probably pushing TOO hard at the beginning, and was getting glute and quad soreness).Then, one day, out of the blue I started having knee pain. It progressively got worse and worse. I started using the cane around the house again, and eventually, 2 weeks ago I had to start using the walker. Made two trips to my surgeon, and saw a knee specialist for a second opinion. Had 2 X-Rays and an MRI done and nothing was seen to explain the knee pain. I just saw my surgeon 2 days ago for my follow-up with still no relief. After taking another X-Ray he explained that the femoral stem had shifted (subsidence) a few millimeters and that is why Im having the transfer pain in the knee. He said the "good news" is that he believes that the stem, with rest (no more "walk as much as you can tolerate) will heal itself and readjust. Is this possible?????? Isnt this an early sign of a failed THR? Will it keep migrating? Everything Ive read says its an early warning sign. My surgeon is factually one of the best in the country and I trust him. He did a great job. I'm just looking for re-affirmation. If you can answer to your best knowledge, Id appreciate your input. I'm worried that it will keep slipping. Thanks in advance.
Excellent! 51 yr old horsewoman, just replaced R hip, front incision. Genetic and worn out. I needed this video! Thank you! Any other suggestions for getting me back up on a horse soooon!
I am 37 years old, and i am 9 weeks post surgery. I was very active before the surgery. It has been rough lately because I wasn't sure if my therapist was increasing my workouts too fast. They removed my bridges and almost all of the beginners' recovery workouts. But now im feeling pain on my lower knee cap when I am in a split squat stretch. I'm now only going to therapy once a week because of my work schedule. But I will apply what you have suggested. Thank you ❤
Thank you for this video! I just had my left hip replaced due to a fractured femur my right hip was replaced two years ago still in shock over both of them lol. I am pretty active and I am really wanting to get back to all things spin Picklball yoga and weights your video just gave me hope I am only four weeks out Now but plan on getting back to active life as soon as it is safe.
I may be the oldest here -- 79, female, broken right femur from a fall, emergency posterior surgery followed by a second surgery several days later when I visited the 10000th ring of Hell with pain way past 10. I'm now three months post surgery and PT has ended. Already doing a few of these exercises at the first level. Goal is to get back to 6000 steps a day while walking my dog. Need info on how to correct leg length discrepancy. TIP: Always have an iPhone and Watch with you. No one around - I was able to call 911 and was in the ER within a half hour.
Wow! Great information, realistically provided. I love the routine suggestions at the end. I realize now, 12 weeks post anterior hip replacement at 59, that maybe I am overdoing the exercises a little bit and will try dialing things back a bit. I might be a little too eager to be ready for skiing in 4 months.
Great video. After abusing my body for 51 years, I am going for a full hip replacement in February. I'm 64 now and am an avid Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner. I'm being told by two orthopedic surgeons that even after fully healing, BJJ would be too rough on the joint, even with hip mobility and strengthening exercises. A real bummer. Your thoughts?
Great video... Left Hip relacement schedule for first week of Dec. Looking forward to working out after recivery with noor minial different pain. currenlty do modified Crossfit 3 x week...no running, jumping , squats and only supported lunges. Really want some freedom! Thanks! I am sure Ill be using someof your exersise orogressions. 59 year old Female
Comparison is the thief of joy. Thanks for the reminder! I had bilateral hip replacement performed over the last six months. So glad I found this video the standard rehab exercises we’re getting boring.
Very informative video and I'm glad I saw this. Earlier this year I had both hips replaced in 4 weeks apart. A pain-free everyday is just so wonderful, each time I squat to pick up something from a floor it literary brings a big smile on my face! My fear has been the dislocation of the hip joints due to the certain exercises or movements. I had anterior surgeries and the pauses like the yoga cobra, big lunges or anything force my hip joints to pop forward. Am I paranoid or if I don't feel pain or a discomfort, can I try these moves or machine exercises?
You helped me immensely after my 2020 R total hip! Thanks so much for your content. The torn medial meniscus (bucket and posterior horn) sadly now needs attention (40 years of hockey and jumping out of airplanes)... Just tired of beining in pain and not being able to participate in sports as my energy says go go go , but the knee says NO.. So sad we don't have better options for the meniscus!
Thank you! I am nearly three weeks out from hip replacement and the PT prescribed me is too easy! I want to get back to bodybuilding so these are great confidence builders?
Omg perfect timing ! I had my left hip replaced 3 weeks ago and the only videos on CZcams are the basic exercises after the replacement yours is the first channel that ive found. So thank u,,mine was done by way of the anterior approach and i know we dont require a lot of precautions. I love lifting weights at the gym and was afraid i would never be able to again. Question ? Are YOU able to do the inner and outer leg machines at the gym or is that one that even with time will never be okay again ?
Thank you for this video. We spoke before. Still advocating for my THR/BHR. I mentioned your case to the surgeon. Still doesn’t recommend a THR for me. Says I’m too young. I say qualify of life & needing to perform trumps age. Hopefully the next surgon listens too me and your video I show him.
Hi Mark . Similar to you , I had a posterior uncemented THR. I have been exercising religiously since my op and now I am week 10 . I worry a lot I am going to damage my implant but I think it’s ok. I am about to progress to your exercises in this video as up to now I have just been doing my physio exercises. ( the advanced ones ). I get a grinding feeling in my new hip when I do some exercises (especially squats ) is that normal ? Thanks
Hi mark, similar to you, i had posterior uncemented bipolar hip replacement after femur head fracture. Almost 5 months past but still I feel discomfort and stiffness. Fear to damage my implant and worried about complications. Kindly guide, how to overcome fear and live normal life
Im 47, was devestated to learn i needed a hip replacement surgery. I have had huge anxiety about getting back to training and the potential for huge restrictions. This video just completely put a fire in me to get my rear end back up and go. 2 weeks out and get staples out tomorrow. Going to implement this video into everyday activity. Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching!

Do you have any plans to make a video on a popliteus strain / tendinitis?
I am 74, and had both hips replaced, spaced 4 months apart in 2023. Ran 1st marathon 2 weeks after turning 70. Bicycle over 58000 miles on my old hips. Your video gave me metrics as well as progressive routines, exactly what I was looking for. And gave me hope for continued active lifestyle. Thank you!!
Does it hurt u every time like theres a knife twisting in your bone?
How many months before you can take part in this exercise? Answer


My OS told me I should never run again after the surgery? Did your doctor say that was okay?
Hello Marc . my name is Claude . I had hip surgery on Oct 3rd. I have been given the go ahead to do exercises to strengthen my hip , core and over all body strength . I came upon your site about various exercises for hip recovery etc...
I have started to exercise using your method . I do low reps(6-8) 3 times daily . That was 6 days before I met the doctor . He was amaze at my condition . He advises that I keep doing this for as long as I can (at least one year or more).
Thank you for the excellent information . I hope to play hockey again with the 70+ players . Already 3 of my friends had hip replacement surgery . They waited over 14 to 16 months before starting hockey again . I visited them at a hockey game and they were by far the best skaters on ice .
Thank you again and wish me the best . Sincerely yours Claude B.
Thanks so much Marc.
I am 4 months out with an anterior hip replacement at the age of 65. I am physically active, ski both downhill and Nordic skate skiing mountain biking etc. Things are going great! I have 10 days out skiing in the back country… gently!
You are my go to one stop shopping guy. I have just retired from 35 years of commercial flying and has such I tend to be a critical thinker. You come about things in the same analytical way and I can totally relate to your modality.
Thanks again my friend I have passed your video on to friends, who are going through the same journey as I.
Take a moment to feel proud of yourself you deserve it.
Thank you so much ! 50 years old . 5 months in and feeling real strong ! Trying to figure out my limits . This helped a lot!
😊75 years old I am 6 weeks post op, posterior approach. The first 7 to 10 days we rough due to so much bruising. Doing so much better and have booked a cruise for July!
You are the first person I feel relates to my situation. I am 56 and had total hip replacement in Sept. I enjoy my physical therapy sessions and want to keep up my strength training. Your information is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Thank you!!
i'm 53 years old and had a left hip replacement 4 months ago.
i just found this video.
This is priceless information.This has helped with me finding how far i can push.
At the moment i walk about 8 kms each time i go for a walk.
but these exercises will help so much.
This is great! 60year old, total hip replacement 6months ago. Used to be an acrobat. This is the first video on this subject that I've found that gives me what I need to get back my fitness, well on the way and you've given me a few new exercises to do! Very happy, thankyou!
Hi! I’m Suzanne. I just turned 46. I had a total hip replacement 6 months ago, posterior approach.
Previously (age 13) had a tumor In the ball of my femur. I feel I’m regaining stamina and strength slowly, but I do have noticeable improvement each week.
Lots of positive comments so sorry to lower the tone. I am 77 and had a hip replacement in November. You say 'whatever your age' but there isn't even one of your exercises I can manage. Even if I could, there's no way I could get up from the floor!
I'm 70 now...But I had Both Hips Replaced 4 years ago...
It took me 24 months to be able to simply walk again with the Hip replacements....
As of this writing...May 21, 2024....I Still Cannot Pick Myself Up Off the Floor....
I Have Determined That If I Want To Be Able To Get Up Off the Floor....I Must Strengthen My Hip Flexors....So That's What I'm Doing....I've been Going Up and Down the Stairs Everyday....
After 2 weeks...I Can Climb up the Stairs With No Assistance or Support....
I Plan On Being Able To Get Up Off The Ground...Unassisted....Within 6 Weeks....
I'll Keep You Posted On My Progress....
I hope your rehab is going better - keep trucking, your tenacity is AMAZING🩵🙌🏾
Thank you, THR at 63, stated using weights for upper body at 6 weeks, lower body sit to to stand, bridges with bands clam shells with bands, calve raises, standing on one leg one minute, after week 9 added lower body weights ( 8 pound dumbbells / deadlifts, wide leg squats, gluts bridges, side leg with band, split squats, Tex deep squats ( no weight) just body, added more protein to diet, increased weight to 10 pounds, just added kettleball for some level work.. feeling strong
That man is muscle bound and quite young I had new hip in March at 86 yrs old do yo expect me to be doing that don’t make me laugh
All your videos are life savers. I did a lot of weight lifting/functional strength/other fitness before my surgery 3 weeks ago, and I've been having trouble getting any information on what long term fitness will look like after the initial months of recovery. And although my half marathons are probably going to be replaced with long walks and cycling, it's good to see you doing split squats and deadlifts with kettlebells! So thank you!
Thank you Marc!!!! I am 56 and was active before my two hip replacements. I was very disappointed in the types of post-surgery exercises I was given. I wanted to progress further in my rehab. I am so grateful for your site. I now have hope that I will be able to get back to doing so many of the activities I love. Thank you.
Marc, thanks for sharing all your ideas and experiences. I am from Brazil and just had a total hip replacement in my left leg. 34 years ago, I had a car accident and had to put a screw in my left hip. After all those years, swimming, weight lifting, and controlling my body wait, the pain arrived, and the hip replacement was necessary. Now, I am 57 years old. The surgery was two weeks ago. I am feeling better and better every day. I am happy to find you on CZcams, and I plan to follow your suggestions as better as I can. Thanks for sharing your successful story!
This is an amazing, crazy informative video without being long and drawn out. Thank you very much for giving me a clear understanding on what I need to do for a proper recovery. Congratulations on yours. I’m sure you are appreciated by many. Keep up the great work! Cheers.
Love the info at age 69 two years ago had a replacement. Went to a gym got a trainer, can do everything now. Only what’s new for me just keep working at whatever. Don’t even think about it anymore. And gotten to like the new. Everyone just keep going and trying. Worth the effort. You can do it. Don’t stop.
Hi, l am 50yrs old and less than 2 weeks l will be having (first) Full hip replacement, abit nervous.
CZcams is giving me some positivity, with having this done.
Hope your doing well 🙏
All things are possible with God ❤
Great timing! I'm 46 years old 2 1/2 months ago I finally had a left hip replacement from AVN in my teens. Dealt with it for 30 years, so I'm way past ready for this. :) Would like to add that many of these weighted exercises can be done with resistance bands at home as well.
Hi. I’m 40yo and had THR 20yrs ago. My question is, have you done your second surgery because it says that it only last 15-20yrs.
This is the best review and description of hip replacement rehab exercises, I have come across. Excellent
thank you for making this video. very much appreciated. excellent training info
57 now and I just had my second revision. First was a clear defect, second just wear. Other than the pain of surgery and recovery (first two took about a year to get close to normal), it is magic.
I’m 61, had THR on my right side when I was 59 after a bicycle accident. I was back on the bicycle after two months. I don’t recall the type of procedure but they made one large incision. I was surprised how long recovery took. After one year I’d say I was at 80%. Physical therapy to strengthen the hip muscles is critical and in my opinion should be ongoing indefinitely to maintain mobility and strength. It’s been 2 1/2 years, I have since retired and working out at home has become my focus. I’m still working on strength training and mobility, it’s not perfect but I cant complain.
Thank you for this clear and concise video!
I just had my right hip replaced 25 days ago at age 39. I will be coming back to this video as my healing progresses.
This recovery has turned out to be more than I expected, it I didn't really study up on it!
My procedure took place at Duke University. They corrected 36 degrees of misalignment in my femur from a prior femur fracture repair and lengthened my femur 1/2" by way of lateral entry.
Great information. 3 weeks post-op total hip replacement. Right side .64 years. I'm doing great.
Thanks Mark, I had a total anterior hip replacement six months ago. Your videos and story are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Came to you from "squat univ.", have both hips resurfaced, almost 60 of age from Germany, with one side having waited years too long, now your page is exactly what "We" need, get back to sports, performance, life and not living in fear of dislocation for the rest of our lifes 😅... There are enourmous lot of people worldwide who want to Judo, Karate, Run and Jump and not caution themeselfs endlessly and look for a way to come back to squatting! Have my deepest thankfulness for your job and videos, keep on, you really service mankind! God bless you, man!
Listen...I too had exact same thing as he did..but the fact is after THR you lose 13% lmuscle from various locations due to the trauma. Dont push yourself and wind up having to get a revision. Being young and stupid is making you think you have to be what you were. You dont. Just do what you enjoy.
Amazing, I am having a total hip replacement this month. I've been strengthening my core body strength, especially in the hip area, hoping it improves recovery.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 3 months post anterior right hip replacement and 3 weeks post anterior left hip replacement due to hip dysplasia and resulting osteoarthritis. All the progressions you provided are so helpful and made me less fearful about movement and possible hip dislocation.
I like your video immensely. Well detailed explanation. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I am especially encouraged by your words on flexibility. I am 5 1/2 months and 2 1/2 months out from double anterior total hip replacements at 71. PT has been wonderful, and I am pleased that I have been doing most of these exercises three x's per week. Although I can get down on the floor, I can only "sit" in a raised kneeling position, and getting up involves a reverse bear crawl. The loss of flexibility has been most frustrating, but based on your advise, I will just patiently apply a little pressure on figure four and wait for more healing.
Thanks for this video! I’m 69 years old and had a TBI as a teenager that left me with weakness on my left side as well as a limp. I had my left knee replaced in 2017 and my right hip replaced in December 2023. Because of some life long limitations, and prior replacements, rehab has been more challenging than I anticipated. Your video gave me a path for future goals and as well as developing a more realistic mindset.
I am 4 months post Left THR. This is my third THR ( 2 on the Right) in the past 17 years. I'm quite active and I'm excited about your video. I feel like PT takes care of the easy stuff after THR - but once you meet all the recovery metrics - they don't do much to help you get stronger. Looking forward to your exercises and to regaining my strength on both hips! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I had my hip at 58 but I have MS and a lot of weakness in that leg. I have been afraid of it popping out and it is so hard to exercise. The double fears have really messed with my recovery. I now believe you that I can try, I have to try to regain my strength and flexibility. thanks
Thanks for making this video! I felt there was an empty space between my functional Physical Therapy and getting me back into the competitive sports I enjoy. I really needed to hear the advice to progress the difficulty of these 7 areas, and to be ok with my own timeline. I am about 3.5 months out from a posterior approach hip replacement (congenital hip dysplasia). I finally got it replaced at 50, but miss my sports so much. It has been mentally tough on me. Great to see down the road a bit.
Ditto!!
Just had THR on right side. Im fairly young at 27 and already feeling pretty good at the end of week 4 post op.
I had hip replacement 4years ago now im 26.
about to get my second one done!@@allrocks8697
Im 27 too man have avn gonna get one too u not alone ❤
This is very helpful. I’m 51 and I had an infection in my native hip from a cortisone shot given to treat a torn labrum that I believe happened from marathon training. 1st surgery was for the antibiotic spacer, which was like health purgatory. 2nd surgery was for the permanent hip replacement. I’m one month removed from the 2nd surgery and trying to find my path forward to something resembling my previously active life. Unfortunately I know long distance running is out; I’m not yet sure about jiu jitsu. This information helps me come up with a recovery plan for the next several months.
I'm watching your videos with great interest, since I'm two weeks out from a right hip replacement, anterior type.
Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed videos.
Nice to see you get back very well from cancer. Your channel is the best of scientific based exercise.
This was really great - very well organized and informative thank you for your time on this
Hi I’m 46 years old I had my first hip replacement 9 months ago and my 2nd hip replacement 1 1/2 month ago I’m feeling great, I’m already going to the gym and doing some of this exercises at home.
Great video & content! Thank you. I had a full hip replacement back in August, was really good about doing my PT but have been in a slump & not progressing as I felt I should be. Got busy with kids sports & kinda fell off my wagon & again just feeling defeated. I look forward to getting back on track & accepting my limits for now. But watching the way you move, gives me great hope that I will enjoy moving again & the fun of moving will be regained.
You lose 13% muscle thr. I had exact same thing as he did and had a replacement very young and you should not be doing things like a teenager. You need to respect what you have and understand they wear out. Revisions are a thing,
I'm 53 and 6 weeks out on anterior hip replacement with a dual mobility device. My surgeon said get back to normal as pain allows. Pain is still significant in groin. My PT is getting gym exercises together for me on next visit but this video was very helpful and informative.
Amazing video, very informative and I really like your approach to pain during exercise. Thank you for sharing.
This is such an informative, helpful video. Thank you.
Hey Mark, many thanks for this video. I’ve been looking forward to it since you announced it coming in one of your previous videos.
Does not disappoint !!.
You covered many exercises I like to do. I do them circuit style, I also like to use slam balls for slams squats & wall throws with controlled movement nothing too heavy tho. I always work out to my heart rate. I find this works best for me.
Thanks for this video there should be more information out there for people with hip replacement who have always led active lives and want to continue doing so but are too scared to try.
got a anterior full hip replacement at 25 two years ago and this video seriously chsnged my life
Thank You so much for this video. 👍
Lots of great exercises and ideas for progressing after surgery!
How many months before you can take part in this exercise? Answer
Great job, you’re my heros , please never ever stop making great and amazing videos
Amazing, super informative video. I wish they will be more high value videos with exercise on CZcams. Great content with great examples, I can tell you are a professional with lots of experience. Thank you for your work and making the video.
I’m a soon to be 60 year old ultra distance runner about to have a posterior approach THR. This is very inspiring.
Thanks! Posterior approach and 3 months post op.....it's taking time, as I'm 70 and osteoporotic. I walk a great deal and can do some of these. Appreciate your video.
Me auto subscribe to this channel after watching this video. Very systematic, detailed with good presentation of the progressions. Thanks for sharing ❤️God bless you
Great video Marc! Covered all facets (exercises, weekly plans, why skipping mobility stretches is good, etc). Appreciate it!
Almost one year in, anterior approach. 56 year old drywall finisher. I've pretty much beat this ol body up for 35 years. Out of the gate was feeling good after PT. I slacked on exercise and now I believe I'm paying for it. ( I'm Superman right!?, i can do anything. Well in my head yes. Body says nope)My wife and I just joined the senior gym in our area. I've gone a few times and I don't have a clue as far as what to do. I'm realizing that yes...I have restrictions now, I'm not Superman. You sir have given the hope and info that I was looking for to at least carry the red cape again! I'm in it to win it as of tomorrow! Thank you so much and I wish the best for you!
Please listen to your body. Not some guy on youtube getting paid to make up stuff.
Thanks for the video. Left total hip replacement Posterior, with dual mobility cups. I've been in Martial arts for 41 years and the past year been training in Brazillian Jiu- Jitsu so I'm definitely looking at exercises to strenthen everything that will help hold the new joint in place. I'm 9 1/2 weeks post op right now and will still be doing Physical therapy for another momth or so. My surgeon and physical therapist both say I am several weeks ahead of their other patients that have had the surgery due to I was still training hard up to a few days before the surgery even though I had no catelage left. Yes, it hurt like the devil but I just made modification as much as I could to use the left hip and leg as little as possible. Hard to fight as well as the others but at least i got a good work out and was in shape before the surgery. I also loaded up before on carbs, protein , (deer meat) and D3 before and after. I've got a ways to go before I can go full bore on the mat in Jiu- Jitsu but working towards it smart not crazy.
This is a great video on what you can do post 9 months THR. I feel we are told what we can't do and you enlighten people what you can do post surgery. I wish Orthopedic doctors would educate there patients on what they can do post surgery like you have done. I'm a PTA and I had a THR 20 years ago and its doing well. I check my blood for metal about 5 years ago and the results were negative. Believer it or not but the one thing that aggravates my hip is when I kick a soccer ball. I also do biking but I do gravel biking around the SF bay trail. Just one suggestion, It would be awesome to have a total hip replacement manufacture come on your show to interview to ask question regarding there perspective on exercises, taking care of the components and longevity.
Just had a THR 7 months ago. Had three trauma surgeries… Had to remove a femoral rod as well as two screws in the knee… Prior surgery the doctor had removed the screw heads because they were poking through my bone into my skin… They tried to remove the rod through my knee, the first time and then I had to rehab my knee back. The second time they were going through a bonus, the autotomy, which is like a keyhole break from my lateral thigh up To my glutes…. They couldn’t remove it like this so they had to re-break my knee and then finally did the total hip replacement on top of all of this. I am worried because my knee is severely rotating medially now. I want to strengthen and I’m now scared to push myself or do anything bc I don’t know if I am hurting rather than helping. I will be seeing my chiropractor/pt regarding this but have to pay out of pocket. I’d like to do this on my own though and feel this video may really help me so thank you kindly for making this for everyone. Any other advice from anyone else - I will gladly take it bc my hip is super achy as is my knee at this point : ( Really worried and I’m wondering if this is just from me not doing the exercises. I was extensively traveling for work and slacked on my exercises for about 2 weeks but then did aqua aerobics where I was and it hurt really really badly afterwards so I fell back a bit on that too. I am completely discouraged and worried. Any advice - please - I will gladly take. Ty everyone. Happy healing to everyone on here
I had a rt total hip, anterior approach 4 years ago. I started rehab with a contracted hip and rehabbed that by walking. I now walk 6-10 miles a day, strength train almost daily and train jiu-jitsu 4 x a week at age 72.
I’m 19 years old and i need to do this surgery. This will not be a problem if I wanna start MMA kick boxing gym etc?
So far this is best resource for me so far Had total left hip replacement June 22 /23
Do therapy 2days a week and modify as needed with CrossFit 4 days a week.(10 yrs L1 teacher) Awesome job describing progressions. I’m an aggressive athlete and it’s hard to modify to easiest progression but your explanation of the movements is a huge encouragement for me to listen to my gym coaches advice to back off more even tho the weight is light to me. Hope to keep connected with ur channel. 👊🏻👊🏻 thanks a ton‼️
Done a shit load of roids and you can recover just as if not better. Sincerely... Someone who did roids in the military and as a DOD contractor for over a decade. Exercises and advice are great. but his "cred" gets tossed out when his size and definition are anything but "normal". And PS. Going in for my own hip replacement here January 24.
I appreciate this. Our story is the same, I was 31 however... I hope to get back into life. Thank you for making this video.
Great video
I loved your video. I havent had a total hip replacement, but an open Synovectomy ( opened from side of hip). You touched on some key points such as not being scared of pain but also not looking for it. This was key, at the hospital I was forced into moving asap and I need to constantly check my thoughts and understand that remaining 100% pain free 2 years after the OP may not be possible as I am very active. Greetings from Switzerland.
Thank you, I have been told I will need a total replacement on my left side at 40, This gives me hope
This is a very great video! I agree I feel as though there isn’t enough resources out there to progress individuals in returning back to a gym. These are some great examples!
I am 73 old male just had my right replaced for the third time ,these exercises are a total no no as my revision was classes as major surgery . I am pain free ,can walk ,swim , and upper body exercise at the gym , am more than happy with my situation !
Thank you for this video. It is encouraging. Recovering from hip replacement surgery
Best advice on this planet.
Thank you, this video is very informative, I finally got my questions answered. I had my hip replaced a year and half ago and stiil use a cane.
Outstanding thank you!!
Thank you so much for all of your videos!!!! They're very informative and encouraging. Preparing for my first hip replacement (for lifelong displasia) at a much younger age than I had expected. Both of my hips are pretty bad, so as long as my recovery goes well after the first one, I will probably be looking at doing my other one within a year too. I'm sure I will frequently refer back to your content.
Mine was a right side and they use ceramic replacements now. No pain just pain from sor muscles redeveloping muscle and strength. I am cautious not to overdue. I am making progress at 9 weeks as a 70 year old. I do tend to push myself but not brutally. I'm on target
Wow. Amazing. Plus I love that you are playing pickleball. I’m getting my right hip replaced tomorrow and I can’t wait to get back on the courts!
I am 61 years old and had right side done 2 months ago, and I am about to have the left side done in one week. As of right now, because of the pain on left side, I have difficulty doing some exercises for the right side. I am taking it easy for now and plan to get into exercises more once left side is done. It is little bit frustrating.
I'm 58 had a Total hip replacement of my left hip last year in December 2023 ,bit next late spring Will have tò replace also the fight hip due to bilateral coxarthrosis .
The 1st surgery has gone well last year. Hope that the next surgery Will go well aswell and resolve my current low health situation .
thank you 🙏
Hi Marc
Great video.
I had a hip Arthroscopy, labral repair and reshape of the femoral head and lebral. My lebral was mostly removed as it was 90% destroyed. Its been 3 weeks now and i feel no pain. I have been doing all the post surgery exercises at home every day and feel great.
Would you recommend i do some of your exercise?
I'm 44 live in the UK and have a active job and have loved working out all my life. Your advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks, looking forward to your response

Hi, John here. I'm 55. I found your channel looking for info. on hip surgery, which I had on Oct,. 12th 2023. I have a question, if you can please answer this. I was doing great with my THR recovery for the first 9 weeks or so. Came home 8 days after surgery and was using only the cane. Was also to walk around the house without any aide. Started PT and was doing great with the exercises. (I was probably pushing TOO hard at the beginning, and was getting glute and quad soreness).Then, one day, out of the blue I started having knee pain. It progressively got worse and worse. I started using the cane around the house again, and eventually, 2 weeks ago I had to start using the walker. Made two trips to my surgeon, and saw a knee specialist for a second opinion. Had 2 X-Rays and an MRI done and nothing was seen to explain the knee pain. I just saw my surgeon 2 days ago for my follow-up with still no relief. After taking another X-Ray he explained that the femoral stem had shifted (subsidence) a few millimeters and that is why Im having the transfer pain in the knee. He said the "good news" is that he believes that the stem, with rest (no more "walk as much as you can tolerate) will heal itself and readjust. Is this possible?????? Isnt this an early sign of a failed THR? Will it keep migrating? Everything Ive read says its an early warning sign. My surgeon is factually one of the best in the country and I trust him. He did a great job. I'm just looking for re-affirmation. If you can answer to your best knowledge, Id appreciate your input. I'm worried that it will keep slipping. Thanks in advance.
Excellent! 51 yr old horsewoman, just replaced R hip, front incision. Genetic and worn out. I needed this video! Thank you! Any other suggestions for getting me back up on a horse soooon!
I am 37 years old, and i am 9 weeks post surgery. I was very active before the surgery. It has been rough lately because I wasn't sure if my therapist was increasing my workouts too fast. They removed my bridges and almost all of the beginners' recovery workouts. But now im feeling pain on my lower knee cap when I am in a split squat stretch. I'm now only going to therapy once a week because of my work schedule. But I will apply what you have suggested. Thank you ❤
Did you get injured? Feels like 37 is still too young.
Thank you for this video! I just had my left hip replaced due to a fractured femur my right hip was replaced two years ago still in shock over both of them lol. I am pretty active and I am really wanting to get back to all things spin Picklball yoga and weights your video just gave me hope I am only four weeks out Now but plan on getting back to active life as soon as it is safe.
I may be the oldest here -- 79, female, broken right femur from a fall, emergency posterior surgery followed by a second surgery several days later when I visited the 10000th ring of Hell with pain way past 10. I'm now three months post surgery and PT has ended. Already doing a few of these exercises at the first level. Goal is to get back to 6000 steps a day while walking my dog. Need info on how to correct leg length discrepancy. TIP: Always have an iPhone and Watch with you. No one around - I was able to call 911 and was in the ER within a half hour.
Wow! Great information, realistically provided. I love the routine suggestions at the end. I realize now, 12 weeks post anterior hip replacement at 59, that maybe I am overdoing the exercises a little bit and will try dialing things back a bit. I might be a little too eager to be ready for skiing in 4 months.
Great video. After abusing my body for 51 years, I am going for a full hip replacement in February. I'm 64 now and am an avid Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner. I'm being told by two orthopedic surgeons that even after fully healing, BJJ would be too rough on the joint, even with hip mobility and strengthening exercises. A real bummer. Your thoughts?
Hi, did you have muscles atrophy after hip replacement? How do you approached it? Can you give some advice?
Great video... Left Hip relacement schedule for first week of Dec. Looking forward to working out after recivery with noor minial different pain. currenlty do modified Crossfit 3 x week...no running, jumping , squats and only supported lunges. Really want some freedom! Thanks! I am sure Ill be using someof your exersise orogressions. 59 year old Female
Comparison is the thief of joy. Thanks for the reminder! I had bilateral hip replacement performed over the last six months. So glad I found this video the standard rehab exercises we’re getting boring.
Very informative video and I'm glad I saw this. Earlier this year I had both hips replaced in 4 weeks apart. A pain-free everyday is just so wonderful, each time I squat to pick up something from a floor it literary brings a big smile on my face! My fear has been the dislocation of the hip joints due to the certain exercises or movements. I had anterior surgeries and the pauses like the yoga cobra, big lunges or anything force my hip joints to pop forward.
Am I paranoid or if I don't feel pain or a discomfort, can I try these moves or machine exercises?
take it easy. wait more months.you wanna have a revision already?
You helped me immensely after my 2020 R total hip! Thanks so much for your content. The torn medial meniscus (bucket and posterior horn) sadly now needs attention (40 years of hockey and jumping out of airplanes)... Just tired of beining in pain and not being able to participate in sports as my energy says go go go , but the knee says NO.. So sad we don't have better options for the meniscus!
This is great advice, thank you.
Thanks for the good advice.
Thank you! I am nearly three weeks out from hip replacement and the PT prescribed me is too easy! I want to get back to bodybuilding so these are great confidence builders?
How many months before you can take part in this exercise? Answer


Could you please do a follow along exercise video? I would do it on repeat!
Omg perfect timing ! I had my left hip replaced 3 weeks ago and the only videos on CZcams are the basic exercises after the replacement yours is the first channel that ive found. So thank u,,mine was done by way of the anterior approach and i know we dont require a lot of precautions. I love lifting weights at the gym and was afraid i would never be able to again. Question ? Are YOU able to do the inner and outer leg machines at the gym or is that one that even with time will never be okay again ?
Great advice from somebody that's walked the walk.
I’m the exact same age as you, but had mine done 2 years ago. I get numbness and tingling around my scar sometimes and it goes down my leg
Amazing video dr mark 🌟❤
Thank you for this video. We spoke before. Still advocating for my THR/BHR. I mentioned your case to the surgeon. Still doesn’t recommend a THR for me. Says I’m too young. I say qualify of life & needing to perform trumps age. Hopefully the next surgon listens too me and your video I show him.
Hi Mark . Similar to you , I had a posterior uncemented THR. I have been exercising religiously since my op and now I am week 10 . I worry a lot I am going to damage my implant but I think it’s ok. I am about to progress to your exercises in this video as up to now I have just been doing my physio exercises. ( the advanced ones ). I get a grinding feeling in my new hip when I do some exercises (especially squats ) is that normal ? Thanks
Hi mark, similar to you, i had posterior uncemented bipolar hip replacement after femur head fracture. Almost 5 months past but still I feel discomfort and stiffness. Fear to damage my implant and worried about complications. Kindly guide, how to overcome fear and live normal life
stop then.shhhhh
Im 47, was devestated to learn i needed a hip replacement surgery. I have had huge anxiety about getting back to training and the potential for huge restrictions. This video just completely put a fire in me to get my rear end back up and go. 2 weeks out and get staples out tomorrow. Going to implement this video into everyday activity. Thanks so much.
I am 54 have had bilateral total hip replacement almost 2 years ago and I am still having to use crutches and pain!
