Hip Replacement

DTx starts with an HCP assessment for patients undergoing hip replacement to evaluate hip stability, flexibility, and overall strength. Prehabilitation (prehab) focuses on preparing the muscles surrounding the hip for surgery, while rehabilitation (rehab) aims to restore mobility and prevent compensatory movement patterns. 

Program Components: 

  • Physical Rehabilitation Exercises: Progressive strengthening of gluteal muscles, core stability training, and hip mobility exercises to enhance gait and balance. 
  • CBT: Addresses post-surgical pain management, improves patient adherence to exercises, and helps overcome fear of movement. 
  • Guidance on Nutrition: Supports bone health and reduces inflammation through nutrient-rich dietary recommendations. 
  • Alternative Techniques: These include EFT tapping for pain relief, mindfulness meditation for stress reduction, and guided visualisation to encourage progress in recovery. 
  • Patient Education and Tips: Includes detailed guidance on posture correction, safe movement techniques, and avoiding hip strain post-surgery. 
  • Physical Therapist Support: Patient is guided and supported by the physical therapist digitally and evaluates the patient at every stage for their readiness to continue on their care journey.
  • Frequently Asked Questions: Answers concerns about activity levels, sleeping positions, and timelines for recovery milestones.
