      Walking Advice

      After a joint replacement it is important to pace your walking. When you go home we usually advise to start with 3 walks a day with a duration of about 5-7 minutes each.

      The next day if you are feeling good and you don’t have a noticeable increase in swelling or pain you can add on one minute to each walk.

      If you experience and increase in pain and swelling over a 24 hour period you can reduce your walking by a couple of minutes for each walk.

      In the initial post-op period always use your 2 crutches when going on your walks. Your physiotherapist will give you advice of when you can come off crutches when they see you at your post-op appointments.
