Home Exercise Programs Made Easy
A home exercise program is a series of customized activities and exercises that are recommended to a patient after treatment. This acts as “body maintenance” to continue to rebuild and maintain optimal recovery and function.Physical therapy is often looked at as a treatment method immediately following an injury or when there is pain. While pain relief is a very important short-term goal of therapy, it is imperative to view therapy as an educational exercise to correct for issues relating to weakness, instability, poor flexibility and endurance which are all important factors necessary to improve upon in order to prevent a recurrence of pain and dysfunction on a long-term basis.
