bball197046 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 How can I best proceed in martial arts if I am about a year out recovering from a hip replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan Melbourne Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'd recommend speaking to your physician and surgeon about it, and also possibly whoever is managing your rehabilitation. Have you already commenced normal levels of exercise that is putting the area under stress? That is to ensure that it is safe for you to commence training, especially since you're a year out from major surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'd say if you are a year out, and are doing daily routine things, then I don't see why you couldn't start back up. You need to listen to your body when you train, and just pace yourself, and test the waters as you go forward. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
