Over 15 Years of Mobile PT for Total Hip Replacement

With over 15 years of experience, our concierge physical therapy model brings expert rehabilitation directly to you. This approach is specifically designed to support your recovery, eliminating the stress and difficulty of traveling to a clinic while you’re in a vulnerable state. Our unique model ensures you receive the highest level of care:

Work Directly with Skilled Physical Therapists: You’ll work exclusively with a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, not an aide or assistant, ensuring consistent, expert care.
Personalized, Research-Backed Care: Every one-on-one session is tailored to your specific post-operative condition and goals, grounded in the latest evidence-based practices.
Cash-Pay Practice: We operate as a cash-pay practice, allowing us to focus entirely on your progress without insurance limitations. We can provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
In Home Environmental Assessment: A key advantage of our mobile service is our ability to assess your home firsthand, identifying hazards and providing solutions to make your living space safer and more conducive to your recovery.

When to Start PT After Hip Replacement Surgery

The most effective recovery begins as soon as possible in the comfort and safety of your own home. Our doctors of physical therapy will come to you, providing one-on-one sessions without the stress of travel. We begin working with most of our patients within the first week of surgery, which is a critical period for restoring motion and preventing complications.

By starting your physical therapy after hip replacement promptly, we can:

Restore Mobility: We’ll help you regain your hip’s full range of motion and strength in a familiar environment.
Prevent Complications: Early movement is crucial for avoiding issues like blood clots and muscle atrophy.
Build a Strong Foundation: We’ll build on the exercises you learned in the hospital, focusing on restoring mobility and helping you understand key precautions to protect your new joint.

Key Recovery Principles for Your New Hip

A successful recovery is built on a few critical principles we reinforce during every session.

Hip Precautions: We’ll teach you how to follow your surgeon’s specific precautions, such as avoiding bending your hip past 90 degrees or crossing your legs, to prevent dislocation.
Ice is Your Friend: We strongly encourage the use of ice to manage swelling and pain, allowing you to participate in therapy more effectively.
Safe Walking: We’ll teach you how to use a walker or crutches to provide balance and ensure a normal gait, building your confidence as you progress.
Home Safety: We’ll help you assess your home for potential hazards, like throw rugs, to minimize the risk of falls.

Navigating Daily Life with Confidence

Our therapy goes beyond basic exercises. We provide practical, hands-on guidance for managing everyday activities, helping you regain your independence safely.

Chair and Car Transfers: We’ll show you how to safely get in and out of chairs and cars, adhering to your hip precautions.
Showering and Driving: We’ll discuss safe showering techniques and work to prepare you for a safe return to driving.

A Personalized Home Exercise Program

We’ll create a personalized program of exercises designed to strengthen your hip and the surrounding muscles, including:

Ankle Pumps & Quad Setting: To wake up muscles and promote circulation.
Gluteal Sets: To tighten your gluteal muscles for hip stability.
Straight Leg Raises: To build strength in your upper leg and thigh muscles.
Gentle Hip Bends: To safely improve your hip’s range of motion.
