You can learn a lot about your body while your recovering. This will help you understand the objective of the physical therapy exercises that you'll be doing when your injury has healed to that point. Also you'll understand how better balance and just being in better shape can stop you from getting re-injured. There are also strength coaches who can give you specific rehabilitative exercises that your therapist might not know about. If you read the work done by Mike Boyle and Mike Robertson, you'll get an idea. You could even email them and ask what all you could do to fix your hip faster. I bought a few anatomy books and listened to a lot of different lectures on the knee till I realised that glue+hamstring strength decreases the pressure on the patella tendon (which I had torn). And then I created my own exercises till I'm pretty much healed now. Its a long process but I feel that the appreciation you get for fitness from this will help you for the rest of your life.
