Hip Replacement Recovery: Get Back to What You Love
At CORE Therapy and Pilates in Westlake Hills, Texas, we help hip replacement patients overcome pain and stiffness to reclaim their active lifestyles. Our integrative approach blends manual therapy, Pilates, and the GYROTONIC® method to address recovery challenges and accelerate healing. Patients often face discomfort, limited mobility, and frustration post-surgery, but our tailored methods offer a path to relief and renewed vitality.
Manual Therapy: Easing Pain and Restoring Mobility
Post-surgery, many patients experience swelling and tightness around the hip, making movement painful. Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques like joint mobilizations and soft tissue massage to reduce discomfort and improve flexibility. Our therapists at CORE Therapy and Pilates have seen patients regain smoother motion and less pain within weeks, as these methods boost circulation and minimize scar tissue. This targeted approach lays the groundwork for a faster, more comfortable recovery.
Pilates: Strengthening for Stability and Confidence
Hip replacement recovery often involves rebuilding strength to support the new joint, as weakness can lead to compensatory injuries. Pilates focuses on core and hip muscle strength, improving posture and coordination. Using reformers, we guide patients through low-impact exercises that enhance balance and protect against falls. Our therapists have witnessed patients return to hobbies like cycling or dancing, empowered by the stability and endurance gained, making daily activities easier and more enjoyable.
GYROTONIC® Method: Fluidity for Natural Movement
Stiffness and fear of movement are common hurdles after hip surgery, limiting patients’ confidence. The GYROTONIC® method uses flowing, circular exercises to gently restore range of motion and ease tension. Its fluid movements mimic real-life activities, helping patients move naturally again. Our clinic has seen patients rediscover joy in activities like walking or gardening, as this method fosters flexibility and coordination, reducing strain on the hip and enhancing overall recovery.
Why Our Blended Approach Stands Out
Combining manual therapy, Pilates, and the GYROTONIC® method addresses pain, weakness, and stiffness simultaneously, offering advantages over standard rehabilitation. Our therapists have observed patients recover faster, with many resuming beloved activities sooner than expected due to improved strength, mobility, and confidence. This holistic approach minimizes reliance on pain medication and empowers patients to take control of their healing, delivering lasting results tailored to individual needs.
