Is Physical Therapy Necessary After A Hip Replacement Surgery?
A friend of mine is supposed to have non-invasive hip replacement surgery Tuesday. She says it is in the hospital one day and out the next with no physical theapy. I have had two hip replacements followed by at least 6 weeks of physical therapy. Is she telling the truth and how is it possible?
