Sports massage can benefit both hip surgery preparation and hip surgery recovery.
Sports massage will benefit hip surgery preparation because it can reduce hip muscle tightness and increase hip mobility.
Less muscle stiffness and more hip range of motion will make hip surgery easier and with less trauma for the soft tissue such as muscles, tendons, and fascia.
After hip surgery, there will be some hip and groin pain which a well-performed sports massage or deep tissue massage can alleviate and speed up the recovery time.
The best sports massage to benefit pre and post-hip surgery is that one is going to target all the hip muscles, both superficials and ineer ones.

The best way to prepare yourself for hip surgery is to improve hip mobility and hip muscle flexibility.
Hip mobility and flexibility can be improved in different ways such as:
Stretching exercise specific to the hip muscle can reduce hip muscle tension, and improve hip mobility and flexibility.
Sports massage and massage therapy in general, can reduce hip and groin pain and improve hip mobility as evidenced above.
Physiotherapy exercise can help both to improve hip flexibility and hip mobility by targeting hip restriction and muscle weakness.
Hands-on physiotherapy is more specific to reducing hip muscle adhesion and eventually tendon calcification.
Walking is a very good simple exercise that can help to keep your hip mobile and flexible. Walk for at least 30 minutes a day.
Cycling is another very good exercise for hip mobility with the advantage of reducing body weight acting on the hip joint. Cycle at least for 30 minutes a day.
Swimming as well as cycling is an exercise where there is no body weight acting on the hip.
Most of the time, swimming or hydrotherapy is the most tolerated exercise when there is active groin and hip pain.
After hip surgery is quite common the patients can experience some sort of hip and groin pain.
Sports massage can help alleviate and fix groin pain and hip pain after hip replacement or hip surgery.
Sports massage after hip surgery should be performed based on the patient’s condition and type of hip surgery.
The sports therapist has to adapt the pressure to the biomechanical condition of the muscles and hip joints, working slightly above the patient’s pain threshold.
A sports massage well performed, will have many positive effects after hip surgery, such as:
