Preoperative Physical Therapy for Right Posterior Total Hip Replacement


Hospital for Special Surgery Rehabilitation offers one-on-one preoperative physical therapy (PT) education sessions to individuals undergoing a hip or knee joint replacement surgery. During this preoperative education session you will spend one-on-one time with a physical therapist to learn and practice your surgeon specific post-surgical activities such as any applicable precautions, exercises, and activities of daily living. In addition to the preoperative PT education session, we recommend that you review this site several times in order to reinforce the information and optimize your preparedness for activity after surgery.

How do I schedule a preoperative PT visit?

  • Call your surgeon’s office to request a PT referral
  • Call one of the HSS Rehabilitation centers below to schedule the appointment. We recommend you try to schedule it for the same day as your presurgical screening.
