Total Hip Replacement: How Home-Based Physiotherapy Restores Mobility and Quality of Life

🦴 A total hip replacement (THR) can be life-changing, restoring mobility and improving quality of life—but achieving the best outcomes requires the right rehabilitation.

📖 Research supports home-based rehab: a meta-analysis published in BMJ Open (2021, Coulter et al.) found that home-based exercise programs after THR are as effective as hospital-based programs for improving strength, mobility, and overall quality of life.

At Potentiate Rehab, our home-based physiotherapy program ensures that every client receives personalised care. We focus on:

✔ Pre-surgery preparation: Safe exercises to optimise your strength and mobility before your operation.

✔ Safe post-surgery movement: Instruction on how to move, sit, and transfer safely after THR.

✔ Progressive strength and stability: Targeted exercises for the hip and core to rebuild stability and confidence.

✔ Reducing complications: Strategies to minimise risks such as hip dislocation or falls.

💡 Real-world success: One of our clients transitioned from using a walking frame to independent walking within just 4 weeks through consistent home rehab.

👉 Your hip deserves more than generic advice—it deserves a tailored rehabilitation program in the comfort of your own home, designed by experts to optimise your recovery.
