What therapy can i do before hip replacement?

See PT: It would be advisable to learn the physical therapy strengthening exercises before the procedure, and ask your orthopedic surgeon to refer you to the pt he plans to use in the post-op period. This will allow you to start some of them now, and the post-op course will be a bit easier; know this because of personal experience.
