Hip Surgery Exercises<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ankle pumps<\/strong> can be performed lying on your back or sitting upright. Gently move your feet up and down for 10 to 20 repetitions. This exercise helps improve circulation and reduce swelling.<\/p>

Heel slides<\/strong> are performed lying on your back with your legs straight. Slowly bend your operated leg, sliding your heel toward your body, then return to the starting position. Repeat this movement around 10 times to improve hip and knee movement.<\/p>

Glute squeezes<\/strong> can be done lying or sitting comfortably. Gently squeeze your buttock muscles together, hold for five seconds, then relax. Repeat 10 times to help improve hip stability and strength.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Knee Surgery Exercises<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Quadriceps sets<\/strong> are performed sitting or lying with your leg straight. Tighten the muscles at the front of your thigh and gently press your knee downward. Hold for five seconds and repeat 10 to 15 times to strengthen the thigh muscles.<\/p>

Straight leg raises<\/strong> are done lying on your back with one knee bent and the operated leg straight. Tighten the thigh muscle and lift the straight leg slightly off the surface, hold for three to five seconds, then lower slowly. Repeat 10 times.<\/p>

Seated knee bends<\/strong> are performed sitting on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slowly bend your operated knee as far as is comfortable, then return to the starting position. Repeat 10 to 15 times to improve knee flexibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Walking and Daily Movement<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Walking is one of the most important parts of recovery after surgery. Short, regular walks help restore normal movement and confidence. Use walking aids if advised, focus on even steps and good posture, and gradually increase the distance as your strength improves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
