64. What kind of physical therapy do you recommend for your resurfacing patients and for how long ? PDF Print E-mail
Everything like they feel. For general rehab you could take 6 weeks, 3 months. If patients want to progress harder they can have longer or more frequent physiotherapy, but this would then be more like fitness training ! Physiotherapy in resurfacing is more guiding the patients then making them to work out exercises too fast and too hard. Passive forced flexion of the hip should not be done. It will often lead to groin pain.
