Have any of you had hip arthroscopy? If so, I would be interested in hearing your experience post-op. I would like your suggestions on how to keep fit before I am allowed to return to the pool, and I am interested to hear what your return to swimming was like after recovery.
My surgery (psoas release and possible labral tear) is scheduled for December 17, and I was told it would probably be three weeks before I am allowed to return to swimming (no kicking allowed), 3-4 months before I can return to full swimming, and 5 months before I can return to competition. How does this compare to your experience?
Thanks!
I'm a physical therapist and have worked with a few swimmers returning from hip labral repair. Recovery depends what type if labral tear you have for adequate recovery times. Overall, breaststroke kicking will be the toughest kick to restore after surgery and may always cause some discomfort.
