Home Exercise Program
Home Exercise Program
The Dr Danish Khan Wellness clinic offers the best possible care to patients of all ages suffering from a wide variety of injuries and conditions. We are dedicated to using the latest, most advanced techniques and individualized care plans to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible.
Your Physiotherapy treatment goes hand in hand with a home exercise program, and both are essential in making your rehab more effective. Attending Physiotherapy but failing to do exercises at home is a common reason patient do not achieve the results they hoped for. Not doing exercises at home is like trying to loose weight, but only eating healthy 2-3 times a week – it simply isn’t effective. Making sure you follow your home exercise program is imperative for you to achieve ideal results in the amount of time you desire.
Long-Term Goals and Success
The goal of Physiotherapy is to improve the body, or enable patients to resume activities they like to do without pain or limitations. This is achieved by restoring strength, improving range of motion, correcting movement patterns, and dealing with pain. In general, this process takes a long period of time. Luckily, Dr. Danish Wellness Clinic provides every patient with a personalized at-home care plan that will help you make the most of your therapy.
Completing exercises at home teaches the body how to operate properly and develop muscle memory, meaning your body will learn to automatically move and function in the right way. You will progress more quickly and move closer to achieving goals. It might help you to think of doing exercises at home as a way to condition your body.
Doing your home exercise program is a crucial part of treatment and recovery. Although it can be hard to make time to add another activity to your daily routine, it will allow you to get better as quickly as possible, and avoid re-injury. Physiotherapists have your best interests in mind, so talk to them if you are having a hard time performing your exercises at home.
Benefits
- Continuation of forward progression in rehabilitation: A patient that completes their home exercise program is more likely to excel in the one-on-one sessions at the clinic and experience fewer setbacks in rehabilitation.
- Increases level of mobility and endurance: Exercise at home is designed to continue the progress of the clinic visit by increasing a patient’s flexibility and stamina. A good home exercise program allows a patient to increase function and improve muscle memory so that progress is gained rather than lost from one visit to another.
- For some patients, Physiotherapy doesn’t end at discharge: A home exercise program can help a patient remain pain free and functional without having to pay for repeat visits.
