Physical Therapy at Home: Exercises and Devices to Relieve Pain

Continue your physical therapy healing at home with these exercises designed to improve your strength, resistance, and core stability. Also included, are some suggested doctor-recommended pain-relieving devices.

Stretching to Relieve Pain

For whatever hurts – there’s a stretch for that. Specific stretches can help to reduce pain, make muscle contraction more efficient, and help to release entrapped nerves. Continue healing at home between PT visits with calm, relaxing stretches recommended by therapists all over the world.

Below are techniques for stretching the spine and hip.

Resistance Training

Critical to successful aging and overcoming traumatic events like strikes and surgeries, is building strength, stamina, and endurance in the muscles, heart and lungs. Exercises may include aerobic exercises.

Let the experts at The PT People guide you through appropriate strength training exercises to reduce musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. There are many simple and inexpensive ways that a resistance circuit can be devised using stationary objects, leather belts, or even a table leg.

Core Stability Training

At the core of your health is your core! Core training can be used to strengthen the body overall but also as a motor control exercise including help with strengthening your pelvic floor which controls urinary retention and urinary incontinence.

The training stimulus needed for stabilization exercises is different than that used for stretching, strengthening, or aerobic training—this type of training can be done daily and should not be over-exertive.

See below for simple core exercises that can be done using an exercise or yoga ball.
