Why is every rehabilitation programme different?
Two people can have similar symptoms but completely different physical abilities, medical histories, lifestyles and goals.
That is why rehabilitation should be adapted to the individual rather than relying on one standard exercise programme.
What does individualised rehabilitation include?
An individualised programme may consider:
- Symptoms
- Movement
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Balance
- Functional ability
- Lifestyle
- Work requirements
- Sports or fitness goals
- Recovery stage
Setting rehabilitation goals
Goals may include improving walking, returning to work, climbing stairs, performing household activities, participating in sport or becoming more physically active.
Monitoring progress
Rehabilitation is not always a straight line. Exercises and activities may need to be modified as the person’s condition changes.
Why professional guidance matters
A qualified physiotherapist can assess the person’s functional limitations and help select appropriate exercises and progression.
Frequently asked questions
Is the same exercise programme suitable for everyone?
No. Exercise selection should consider the individual’s condition and goals.
How often should rehabilitation be reassessed?
The appropriate frequency depends on the condition and progress.
Can physiotherapy support fitness as well as rehabilitation?
Physiotherapy-based exercise can be incorporated into suitable fitness and functional programmes.
