We recommend consulting a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to ensure exercises are best suited to your recovery. If you are carrying out an exercise regime without consulting a healthcare professional, you do so at your own risk. If you have any concerns whilst completing these exercises, please contact a healthcare professional.
This programme focuses on maintaining a range of movement within the hip, appropriate loading of the affected joint and maintenance of lower limb strength and stability. We suggest your child carries this out once a day for approximately 2-6 weeks as pain allows. We can work into pain during these exercises but ideally, this should not exceed any more than 3/10 on a self-perceived pain scale.
This is the next progression. More focus is given to progressive loading of the hip and lower limb strengthening. As with the early programme, some pain is to be expected but ideally, we do not want this to be any more than 3/10.
