Hi I hit 6 weeks this Thursday, wow that went quick. How soon did other people return to pool, I am not planning mega amounts of lengths just waliking side to side swim a few widths
Hi Tracey I went swimming at 8 weeks it was fine and seemed to helped loosen me up. I certainly walked a lot better after a few times in the pool.
Hi Tracy, i went to the pool after the 6 week check up but only to do aquajogging, but even walking up and down gave me so much relief. Go for it girl but don't overdo the breast stroke, it might not be a good idea!
I went swimming at 10 weeks and it felt wonderful. I did not do the breast stroke as I normally do the crawl anyway or backstroke, but if you are a breast stroke swimmer, then do the breast stroke arm action with crawl legs at first. I was told at my check up I could swim any stroke, but some people are told not to do the breast stroke for a few months. It depends what the physio advises at whichever hospital you were at. It certainly does you good but go gently at first.
Hi I started hydrotherapy last week! Have to go again next week and will keep it up every 2to 3 weeks. I am 11weeks post op! But have oa in other hip and both knees! Also a carer as well! Regards Amanda
Right gonna give it a go next week if I can get to the pool which is a good walk away, partly uphill no transport here .
