PT Exercises at Home ‘DO WE HAVE TO DO THEM?’
In every industry, people want to ask questions — in fact, they often ask those questions. But just as important — and much harder to answer, of course — are the questions that nobody is willing to ask. Questions like this one:
“Do we really have to do these exercises at home?”
At Professional Physical Therapy, we’d love to say we are asked this question a lot. But the fact is that we aren’t. Everybody assumes the answer is “yes!” After all, we wouldn’t bring it up in the first place if it wasn’t important. And nobody likes to look foolish. At the same time, it’s clear that many patients should be asking that question, because many patients don’t do the exercises and stretches prescribed for them at home. That can be frustrating as a physical therapist. Our job is to help patients heal, and when we see someone once a week, there’s only so much we can do to make things get better. It’s ironic that an injury that happens in a split second can take months or longer to heal, but not as ironic as the fact that 15 minutes a day is all most people need to recover from their injuries, assuming they want to see positive, meaningful results.
