Workouts on crutches

The wind on your face

Once you are on your crutches and mobile you’ll quickly feel strong enough to head outside. If the weather’s not too extreme grab those crutches and go for it - this is the start of your ‘running’ recuperation proper.

Develop skills with crutches

Crutch training for a runner's hip replacement 

If you practice using crutches before surgery you'll know what to expect and will be able to get around more quickly, so get hold of a pair if you can. If you find walking a challenge already due to hip pain before hip replacement surgery, crutches can help mobility and keep you more active. More activity = less weight on the hip.
