Training After Hip Replacement
in Muay Thai Technique, Training and Fighting Questions
Posted · Edited by erick00
I am 66 years old and had a hip replacement about 3 months ago. Before the hip replacement I had already reduced the kicking, especially the "round kick" because it caused me to limp even more, and because my never-so-great flexibility was even worse. After the surgery I was really amazed that at this point I cannot even feel that I have an implant! The recovery was rough in the beginning, especially the lack of energy. Just keep training slowly, ever slowly. Now I am doing a lot of Muay Thai techniques, elbow techniques, "teeps", light knees on the heavy bag, footwork, shadow boxing, etc etc. I am also combining my Muay Thai training with BJJ. In summary, just go light and slow and you will improve. Don't get too frustrated with what you can do. Find what you can do.
