  1. Rehabilitation Therapy Patient Guide (Overview)

    A rehabilitation therapy patient guide is a practical document that explains what to expect during therapy, how to prepare for sessions, and how to safely practice exercises at home. It typically covers your diagnosis or goals (e.g., mobility, strength, balance, speech, or daily living skills), the therapy schedule, and how progress will be measured. It may also include guidance on pain management, activity pacing, and when to contact your care team.

  2. What to Do Before, During, and After Sessions

    Before: bring any relevant medical notes, a list of medications, and questions for your therapist. Wear comfortable clothing and bring assistive devices if you use them (walker, brace, etc.). During: follow instructions for safe movement, ask for demonstrations, and report symptoms (new pain, dizziness, numbness, shortness of breath). After: complete the assigned home program as directed, track exercises or symptoms, and avoid sudden increases in intensity. If you miss a session, follow the plan your therapist provides rather than restarting aggressively.

  3. Safety and Professional-Care Note

    Rehabilitation should be tailored to your condition and risk level. If you experience severe or worsening symptoms—such as chest pain, fainting, sudden weakness, uncontrolled bleeding, or rapidly increasing pain—seek urgent medical care. For non-emergency concerns (persistent pain, swelling, or unclear instructions), contact your therapist or prescribing clinician promptly. Always follow your clinician’s guidance; this guide is general information and not a substitute for individualized medical advice.
