Re: yoga after hip resurfing?

[Guest guest]

,

I wouldn't call myself a serious practitioner. I do ashtanga

practice at home 4 - 5 times a week. I turned to yoga in my fight

against this darned disease. I see how wonderful it is for my body

and so I plug away at it religiously, but my don't it just kill those

hips?! I also find it a little daunting sometimes that my goal with

yoga and OA is to deteriorate more slowly. (An admirable goal, but a

little on the depressing side).

I have not had resurfacing, but I am thinking on it very hard. I am

just recently getting bone on bone so I think I have a little while

to go.

I don't know about yoga after resurf. I suspect a good deal of it

depends on a successful resurf and your condition/strength/ROM going

in. There are some dancers, martial artists and probably yoga people

here as well and I will be interested in their stories also. Yoga

Journal website has a good article on yoga after THR which although

different might be a good read. You may also wish to search the

archives for dancers and martial artists as well as yoga.

All I know is that yoga becomes more painful and limited everyday.

Someday, I hope to know what it is like to do yoga without that knife

of fire in my groin.

Yoga, and pretty much anything else you're struggling to hang on to

preoperatively is a pleasure to recover after resurfacing. Go for it!

I never had done yoga in my life until recently. I just started it (don't

ask me what kind--at this point it is all the same to me), and am hoping it

will help me increase my ROM which was almost non-existent pre-op. It is

hugely improved, but not where I want it to be, so I'm hoping this will

help. I have no concerns with any of the poses I'm doing. So I'm the other

end of the spectrum from the serious practitioners.
