Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hello Everyone, I have my date set with Dr. De Smet on August 26. I have been working out a lot lately in a local pool and also once per week doing a personal training session with a Gyrotonics instructor. (Gyrotonics use machines to increase ROM) I am just wondering if all of this work on trying to increase my ROM right now is doing me any good. It is painful. On the other hand, I feel good doing it because I feel like I am being proactive instead of letting myself get worse. I want to be in the best shape possible for August but my friends say I am over doing it and should just wait until I get my new hip. After doing a lot of hip work I do limp a lot more. What do other's think? June Bonacich - " What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Dear June You're doing absolutely the best thing. I hired a personal trainer before my operation also, and have had a very good recovery as a result. I had bilateral on 1/27/03 w. Dr. Gross. The better your ROM and muscle tone, the easier it will be for you!
