The Hip Replacement Podcast

The Hip Replacement Podcast: Recovery Tips, Insights, Inspiration The Hip Replacement Podcast is a leading resource for people searching for hip replacement, hip replacement surgery, hip replacement recovery, and life after hip replacement. Whether you’re preparing for hip surgery, recovering from a hip replacement, or learning how to live fully after hip replacement surgery, this podcast offers real-world insight from someone who has lived it. Hosted by Chris Bystriansky—author, IRONMAN triathlete, and double hip replacement patient—this podcast focuses on what patients actually want to know about hip surgery recovery and recovering from hip replacement. Chris had both hips replaced more than a decade ago and went on to complete two IRONMAN triathlons, endurance events, and maintain an active lifestyle that includes golf, fitness, and travel. His journey demonstrates what’s possible when recovery is approached with patience, perspective, and purpose. This podcast does not provide medical advice. Chris is not a doctor, surgeon, or physical therapist. Instead, he shares lived experience, guidance, and inspiration to help hip replacement patients better understand what to expect after hip replacement, navigate setbacks, and confidently move forward. Each weekly episode explores highly searched topics related to hip replacement recovery and life after hip replacement, including: • Preparing mentally and physically for hip replacement surgery • Pain, stiffness, nerve sensations, and sleep after hip replacement • Tools, equipment, pools, and strategies for hip surgery recovery • How long does it take to recover from hip replacement surgery • Getting back to walking, running, golf, swimming, and daily life • Intimacy, scars, leg length concerns, and confidence after surgery • Overcoming fear, frustration, and the stigma of hip replacement • Real comeback stories and long-term success after hip replacement The Hip Replacement Podcast is for: • People scheduled for hip replacement surgery • Patients recovering from hip replacement at any stage • Active adults seeking a better life after hip replacement • Anyone living with a hip replacement who wants more than “just OK” or "Back to Normal" Chris is also the author of NEW STEEL, a book chronicling his hip replacement surgeries and his path back to endurance sports, and he brings the same honesty and encouragement to every episode. If you’re searching for hip replacement recovery, hip surgery recovery, living with a hip replacement, or inspiration from someone who truly understands the journey, this podcast is for you. New hips. New you. Let’s go.
