Recovery & Swimming After Hip Arthroscopy

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!

  • Isn't water great. When I was rehabbing my shoulder, I did 2 weeks of drylands only. That seemed fine at the time, but when I got back in the water I felt home. I'm happy to hear you're back in the water Elaine! Enjoy, be smart, and you'll be back sooner than predicted I'm sure!! Thanks, Steve, King Frog, and Bobinator! It IS great to be "home" again, and I will be very careful not to screw it up! :agree: I definitely won't be walking miles around Montreal (or anywhere else!) any time soon. :nono:
