What exercises should I perform ?

When can I start ?

How hard can I push myself ?

Can I do any harm ?

Are there any restrictions or limitaions ?

Do I need to modify my exercise programs after surgery or injury ?

What are my realistic goals ?

Can I return to competitive sports ?

 

To assist our patients both before and after their surgery, Brisbane Hip Clinic offers supervised small group Strength and Conditioning programs. Classes are run with a maximum of 3 participants to 1 instructor. Our classes are tailored towards your level of fitness and objectives, accounting for your hip disorder and any prior treatment or surgery. All classes are supervised by a Physiotherapist with Strength & Conditioning accreditation. Our Strength & Conditioning programs are suited to people of any age or fitness level and are ideal for people after hip joint replacement and resurfacing procedures who are beyond their initial rehabilitation period and are looking to get the most out of their surgery.
