Rehabilitation is an integral part of recovery following sports or work-related injury. All rehabilitation exercises must be done correctly and regularly to heal and return to normal activities of daily living. Video rehabilitation can help you to achieve this. Below we explore video rehabilitation and its many practical benefits.
You'll be doing it right
One of the most significant benefits of video rehab is that you are more likely to do the exercises correctly because you can see them on screen and copy them. It is very difficult to remember a set of exercises you have been told to do in the clinic. Most people will forget these exercises once they step outside.
Less chance of injury
Another huge advantage of seeing the exercises being performed on screen is that there is less chance of injury as you can see a physical reminder of what to do and how to do it safely. This means that you should be doing the rehab exercises correctly and be less at risk of causing further strain.A schedule that works for you
If you are unable to attend many clinic appointments and need to do regular rehab sessions at home, then video rehabilitation is a service that works for you. Simply stream via your phone or tablet and do your rehab at a time and place that suits your needs.
Better than still images
Trying to work out how or when to move to a sequence of set movements from a range of printed images is very difficult. It is much easier to follow real-time movements to achieve the correct pacing and transition of movements.
Video rehab is motivational
Following the movements in a video is very different from following a set of static images. When you use a rehab video you will feel that you are not alone but that someone is doing the rehab with you. This helps inspire and motivate you to succeed with your physio rehabilitation programme.
