I had physio before my hip replacement (everyone had it before
hip and knee replacement, at the hospital where it was done).

Everyone!

Helps strenghten the joint before surgery and results in a
better chance of success after.

thanks to all of you for the replies. i feel a lot better about it
now. i think my mother has another appointment with the consultant in
june or july.....i'm hoping the physio would have done its job by then
and she gets a date to have the operation.
