I am having a total left hip replacement (ceramic) for OA and am thinking of doing palates (individual sessions) as part of my rehab. and to improve my gait and posture. Has anyone had experience of this. I know I will have to have abide by the 'don'ts' not crossing legs, 90% rule etc.
Thanks

Hi Alison
I would suggest that you find a pilates teacher who is aware of what people should and should not be doing after a THR on the exercise front.
You need to have faith that the person teaching you is well qualified in every way.
I wish you well with your forthcoming operation.

Hi Alison,
What a great idea! If you enter 'pilates' in the search engine on the top right of the page you'll find quite a lot of stuff on it including, top left, a fairly comprehensive article on Pilates & Arthritis. Good luck with your op!If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

when l do this kind of class l get a space near a wall or window so l can get up easier and do what Elna says make sure the instructor knows!
Good luck

Thank you all for your helpful replies. I am going to start palates (individual sessions initially) before my op which is on 11th of October-so not much time. I will check out carefully with the physio. for post-op limitations of what I can do.
So good to get a reponse as this can be a pretty lonely journey if you don't want to bore friends a and family too much!
Best wishes to you all on your own journeys....

Tell you a real good idea. I've had pain in my legs for the last 5 years and I've tried everything. But on thing I did do was took a one on one session in Pilates and that helped. BUT and this was the big BUT. They put me on a health diet. It was called "Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle" and it was the Lifestyle that fixed the problem. These guys went though all the food we eat (well what I ate) and then filed down into my illness and added and deleted foods from my diet. I don't have the full info on the diet but you can find a blurb here i]Link removed as per house rules - Moderator Z[/i hope this helps. All the best Jimmy0
