It’s common to experience some discomfort during physical therapy after hip surgery, but this is a normal part of the healing process. The goal of physical therapy is to help you regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your hip, which can sometimes involve pushing through some initial pain.
Yes, there is always surgical pain after surgery which subsides after a while requiring no treatment. Yet, much more pain comes from soft tissue injury (muscle/fascia strain) outside the joint which is the exact source of pain before surgery and the reason for surgery but remains untreated. No pain comes from the joint (except for traumatic fracture) simply because of no pain sensation in the joint. Now this injury causing pain must still be treated to recover. The only way to resolve such injury is done internally by the body itself via light touch, i.e., Touch-and-Hold of The Precision Method to initiate self-healing. It cannot be resolved and is not to be treated with surgery, medications or physical therapy such as hot/cold application, massage, manipulation, stretching, strengthening, etc. It usually takes 1-2 hours to recover with no more pain. |
