Quads strain after THR

Have you tried release of the muscle through massage, rolling on a roller, or acupuncture "resetting" of length. Hopefully at 10 days you're not already experiencing full blown contracture.

Thanks for your suggestions. I doubt this will be a long-standing problem but I'm not taking any chances. I'm a neuro PT and not a musculoskeletal expert but I'm going to my fabulous physio this morning and I'm sure she will do some of the things you've suggested. She worked wonders on me before the op.

Please keep us updated on your PT intervention.

And I should say, rolling on a roller is probably too aggressive at present. But you could try one of those tiger tails or The Stick, instead. That way you're not contorting your body to get down to the floor to roll.

Creep stretching as your hip allows.
