It looked to me like Laura was getting really good one on one hands on physical therapy (probably every day). I don't see Jillian being able to do that for her at the ranch. Also I do remember the doctor saying straight out ANY pain at all meant that she was putting a strain on the hip and could cause it to break. What did surprise me is that she wasn't on crutches or even using a cane to take some of the pressure off that leg.
