When you get hurt or want to stay healthy, prescribed exercises are really important. As a physiotherapist, I have seen how doing these exercises can help you get better and stay healthy for a long time. I've also seen how NOT following the exercises makes recovery very minimal. Read on to learn why it's important to do the exercises your physiotherapist gives you and how they can help you the most.
Exercises Just for You:
Prescribed exercises are made just for you. Your physiotherapist designs them based on what you need. Each exercise targets specific muscles or movements to help you get better and be stronger. When you do these exercises, you are doing things that are made just for you.
Getting Better Gradually:
Prescribed exercises start easy and become challenging over time. Your physiotherapist watches your progress and makes changes as needed. This helps you get better and reach your goals faster.
Making Your Brain and Muscles Stronger:
Doing exercises over and over helps your brain and muscles work together. It makes you stronger, helps you move better, and do things without even thinking about it. It's like practicing to get better at a sport or a game.
Preventing Future Problems:
Prescribed exercises not only help with the current situation but also keep future problems away. By doing the exercises, you make weak parts of your body stronger, improve balance, and fix any imbalances. This helps prevent getting hurt again. Doing the exercises regularly helps you stay healthy.
Being in Charge of Your Health:
Doing the prescribed exercises helps you take control of your health. You are a critical part of your healing process. By following the exercise plan, you increase your chances of getting the results you want.
5 Tips for Doing Your Exercises:
Set Goals You Can Reach: Understand why doing the exercises is important and talk to your physiotherapist about any concerns. Set goals that you can reach and work hard to achieve them.
Make a Routine: Do your exercises at the same time every day. Find a time that works best for you and stick to it. Make it a part of your daily routine.
Ask for Help: Tell your family or friends about your exercise plan and ask them to support you. Having someone to help you stay on track can make it easier. Accountability is key.
Keep Track of Your Progress: Write down what exercises you do, how many times you do them, and any changes your physiotherapist suggests. Seeing your progress can make you feel good and keep you motivated.
Talk to Your Physiotherapist: If you have questions or problems with the exercises, we can give you advice, answer your questions, and make any changes needed so that you are on the right track.
Doing the exercises your physiotherapist gives you is really important for getting better and staying healthy. By understanding why these exercises are important, doing them regularly, and being involved in your own healing, you can get the most out of your treatment plan. Take charge of your health and reach your goals. Unleash your potential!
