3 exercises that help you feel better after hip replacement or joint replacement
Just after your joint replacement or hip replacement surgery, while you are recovering, Dr. Avtar recommends
performing some of the simplest exercises. You can also do these, even
when you are still in the hospital. Post the hip or joint replacement
surgery, contraction of the leg muscles might seem like a habit. These
exercises will aid your body in getting back to its normal
functionality.
The main reason behind these exercises is to amplify the blood flow throughout the legs, which further reduces the swelling and helps you recover faster. Some of the easiest and effective post-operative surgeries are laid down which can be performed after both hip replacement surgery and joint replacement surgery.

Hamstring Contraction
In this exercise, you are supposed to lie on
your back and curve your knee at an angle of 10-15 degrees with your
feet placed on the floor. Now let your legs stay still and then press
your heels into the floor. This movement will make your hamstring
muscles contract. Now hold this position for at least 5 seconds. And
then relax and repeat this movement 10 times.

With proficiency in surgeries and being the
