Those facing a total posterior hip replacement may feel overwhelmed with worry over whether or not they'll be able to recover the range of movement and strength they need to maintain their quality of life.
In this video, physical therapist Melanie Derrick moves through a series of exercises designed to be easy to perform in the safety and comfort of your own home. These exercises are designed to improve recovery after a posterior hip replacement, by gently strengthening the affected muscle groups.
