Why home-visit rehab is safest in the first 6 weeks
The first 6 weeks after total hip replacement (THR) is when dislocation risk is highest and every step matters. Home-visit physiotherapy from Pro Physiotherapy JP Nagar removes the 40-minute clinic commute, protects your surgical wound, allows the therapist to audit your bed height, toilet height and stair rails, and lets a family member observe the exercises. Same-day dispatch across South Bengaluru is between 08:00 and 22:00.
The 4-phase THR rehab protocol
- Phase 1 (weeks 0–2): hip precautions, ankle pumps, quadriceps sets, transfers in and out of bed. Walker-assisted gait.
- Phase 2 (weeks 2–6): standing hip abduction, mini-squats, gait retraining without walker, stair training with rail.
- Phase 3 (weeks 6–12): Trendelenburg correction with side planks, single-leg balance, resistance band hip strengthening.
- Phase 4 (months 3–4): return to walking 3–5 km, driving clearance and light sport (swimming, cycling).
Hip precautions to follow for 6 weeks
- Do not bend hip beyond 90° (no low chairs, no sitting cross-legged)
- Do not cross your operated leg over the midline
- Do not rotate the operated hip inwards
- Sleep with a pillow between your knees for 6 weeks
- Use a raised toilet seat and a long-handled shoe horn

Frequently Asked Questions
1When can I walk without a walker after hip replacement?
Most patients transition to a cane at week 4 and walk fully unaided by week 8. Age, muscle strength before surgery and adherence to physiotherapy are the biggest predictors.
2Is home-visit physiotherapy safe after THR?
Yes — home visits are the safest option for the first 6 weeks because they eliminate car-transfer risk, allow bathroom and staircase audit, and reduce infection exposure.
3Can I climb stairs immediately after hip replacement?
Yes, on day 2–3 with rail support and physio supervision. “Up with the good leg, down with the bad leg” is the rule.
4How much does home-visit hip rehab cost in Bangalore?
Home-visit sessions from ₹800–₹900 (distance-based). Full 20-session package ₹15,000–₹18,000 including gait-analysis review.
5When can I drive after hip replacement?
Around week 6–8 once you can perform an emergency brake without hesitation. We assess this in Phase 3 rehab.
