Home Exercise Programs

Home exercise programs give patients the chance to do more than they ever could at a standard physical therapy session. All the extra homework may feel like a slog at first, but the advantages are endless. Not only are you strengthening your body with every passing moment, but you may even be able to stop chronic pain in its tracks.

No matter what injury or illness you’re facing though, it’s important to find a physical therapist who understands the precise needs of your body. If the injury isn’t properly addressed both at home and at a facility, the effects may become permanent.

Whether you experienced a stroke or a stress fracture, what you do and how you do it will have long-term effects on how you heal. You need a specialist who can plan out exercises according to both your health and your lifestyle. Before officially recommending a program, our physical therapists take into account everything from your official diagnosis to how much space you have in your home. The ultimate goal is to devise solutions that both target the injured areas(s) and encourage patients to actually stick with the exercise routine.

This is the crux of most physical therapy programs. It’s relatively easy to work with therapists at official sessions, but the ongoing work that’s required can be easy to put off or even ignore entirely. This can unfortunately lead to negative outcomes that were otherwise avoidable. By taking the time to work with patients and the obstacles they face, we stand a better chance of achieving real results.
