Exercise & Fitness

Regular exercise and fitness are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, but even more so when part of a home rehabilitation program following an injury or extended stay in hospital.

Exercising for Rehabilitation

Costs for physical therapy are rising and exercise and fitness equipment that aid in completing therapy at home are becoming more popular. Oftentimes outpatient rehabilitation involves receiving workout plans and instructions from a doctor or therapist that are to be followed at home.

Rehabilitation exercises are used to help the body recover from minor injuries like sprains and pulled muscles to major procedures such as hip replacements, knee damage and major surgeries that impair muscle movement for long periods of time and require strengthening and rebuilding.

These fitness programs sometimes require specialized equipment that allows you to exercise more effectively with less incidence of injury or strain. Improper or low-quality equipment can easily cause more harm than good, delay the recuperation process and even result in additional injury that will lead to a longer period of convalescence.

Popular Exercise Equipment
