Individualized Programs
A physical therapist will evaluate your posture, strength, flexibility, connective tissue integrity, breathing, balance, and home safety. Your physical therapist will align your connective tissue, which will establish a base to begin improving your posture, flexibility, and breathing. Your physical therapist will establish a core strengthening program that will include weight loading and unloading activities, aerobic and endurance activities, balance and stabilization training, flexibility, and relaxation. It is crucial to develop a program that you will do consistently and independently. Because your program is very individualized, it is important to know what types of physical activities you enjoy doing and what your daily schedule consists of. Concise programs have been developed for patients with busy daily schedules.
