Will yoga help with rehabilitation of my hip arthroplasty?

Yes with limitations: Flexibility is important, but you should avoid certain postions in the immediate postoperative period because your hip may dislocate. If it was a posterior approach, you should be avoid flexion and internal rotation. If it was an anterior approach, you should avoid extension and external rotation. You should check with your surgeon for his or her preferences.

Possibly: Hip dislocation is a risk after this surgery. Make certain that you follow your surgeon's instructions before attempting certain yoga poses.

Careful: I would advise doing conventional physical therapy first before considering yoga. Also it is crucially important to understand what your post operative precautions are beforedoing any exercise program.This is dependent on the surgeon and type of surgery performed.Many post hipreplacement patients arecautioned not to flex their hip or rotate their hip beyond a certain point. Listen to your surgeon.

It could: but you need to make sure that you are following the precautions that are set forward by your surgeon
