The Hip
Hip Care
It must also restore neuromuscular control of the gluteus medius, quadriceps, and pelvic stabilizers, which are often severely inhibited after surgery or prolonged immobilization. It is precisely in this process of reawakening the muscles that Galmeon therapy provides measurable added value, complementing traditional physical therapy.
Post-surgery (total hip replacement, ligamentoplasty, etc.)
Traumatic injuries (fractures, sprains, etc.)
Limping due to neurological disorders (paralysis, hemiplegia following a stroke, etc.)

What results can you expect from hip rehabilitation, and how long will it take?
The recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery, the patient’s age, and their prior health:
- Total Hip Replacement : resumption of walking independently within 4 to 6 weeks, return to daily activities within 2 to 3 months, and full recovery within 4 to 6 months.
- Femoral neck fracture : longer recovery time (6 to 12 months), particularly in older patients, with the primary goal of regaining independence.
- Femoroacetabular impingement (post-surgery): Gradual return to normal activities over 3 to 6 months, depending on the type of surgery.
The Galmeon therapy, which is part of the protocol from the very first weeks, can significantly accelerate muscle recovery of the gluteus medius and quadriceps and reduce the duration of plateau phases. These results are for informational purposes only: each patient’s journey is unique and must be evaluated by your doctor and your physical therapist.
What precautions should be taken to avoid complications?
A Few Essential Rules During hip rehabilitation :
- Strictly avoid the prohibited actions as indicated by your surgeon to avoid the risk of prosthesis dislocation.
- Never push through the pain : Sharp pain is a warning sign to stop, not a hurdle to overcome.
- Use assistive devices (crutches, walker) for as long as prescribed, without rushing to stop using them.
- Watch for warning signs : unusual swelling, sudden pain in the calf (risk of phlebitis), fever, discharge from the scar.
Maintain gentle physical activity between sessions (walking, approved mobility exercises) to maintain your progress.
When should you seek professional help right away?
See your doctor or your surgeon if you notice:
- Sudden, sharp pain in the hip, groin, or thigh
- A clicking sensation or slip when applying pressure
- Significant significant swelling of the lower limb, pain in the calf (suspected phlebitis)
- Fever or discharge from the scar (suspectedinfection)
- Limp Persistent despite physical therapy
- No improvement or worsening after several weeks of treatment
Regular follow-up remains the best way to ensure rehabilitation that is safe and effective.
