Hip Replacement Physiotherapy: Maintaining Mobility in Lambourn, Hungerford and Newbury
Hip replacement surgery is life-changing, but success depends on effective rehabilitation. People often search for “physio near me Newbury” or “hip rehab West Berkshire” after surgery. early physiotherapy is key to regaining independence.
At Kerry Read Physio, I provide community physiotherapy for hip replacement patients across Lambourn, Hungerford, and surrounding villages.
Prehabilitation: Preparing Your Hip
Pre-surgery physiotherapy strengthens the muscles around your hip and improves balance. Benefits include:
Better walking endurance after surgery
Reduced post-operative stiffness
Shorter hospital recovery
Confidence in daily activities
Exercises include glute and thigh strengthening, hip mobility drills, and functional practice such as sit-to-stand movements.
Post-Surgery Recovery
After hip replacement, physiotherapy focuses on:
Safe weight-bearing and gait training
Hip mobility and stretching
Functional tasks: stairs, bed transfers, bathroom independence
Gradual strengthening to prevent muscle loss
Education on hip precautions and safe movement
Why Community Home Visits Are Important
Travelling for rehab immediately after hip surgery can be challenging. Home physiotherapy allows:
Assessment of home hazards and practical adaptations
Exercises in the environment where you live and move
Individualised progression based on your daily routines
Many patients in Lambourn and Hungerford use “home physiotherapy near me” searches because it’s convenient and personalised.
Tips for Patients

Use walking aids as recommended
Monitor for pain, swelling, or instability
Keep a daily log of activity to track improvement
