Home Exercise Program
Your home exercise program is a very important part of your rehabilitation. Your therapist will teach you stretching, strengthening, and postural
exercises that you must do daily in order to get the most out of your
rehabilitation. The more "therapy" you do at home, on your own, the
faster you will recover. If you do your exercises faithfully, your
outcome will be much more satisfactory, your impairments will be
limited, and your pain will be less.
When you are recovering from an injury or surgery, it is completely
normal to experience some pain, soreness, and stiffness when you perform
your home exercise program. If you experience a significant increase in pain while doing your exercises, stop doing them and report it to your therapist.
