Beginner Exercise Programhome health care introduces many to fitness!Beginner Exercise Program! That's what Medicare pays me to do with my patients. Lucky them! It's like government funded personal training. But before all you Physical Therapists send me hate mail... trust me, I know they aren't the same! Personal Trainers can get their cert over a weekend... you and I went through many years of blood, sweat and tears... What's so cool though, is that maybe half of my patients are actually introduced to fitness as a way of life because of some unfortunate circumstance that brought me to their care through home health. I set them up on their home exercise program and it's like a beginner exercise program and away they go! The convert numbers used to be higher but it seems that each generation gets lazier and lazier and has little interest in pursuing a healthier lifestyle or even doing their home exercise program. THAT is the extremely sad and frustrating part of what I do. I went to school to help people and many don't want the help! I have found a higher percent of those who have had orthopedic mishaps i.e. hip surgery, broken leg, car accident etc, are those who see their mishap as only a small blip on the screen of life and dive into physical therapy onto to get back into life stronger and healthier than before! Many continue this new found beginner exercise program and eventually join a gym or even hire a personal trainer. Why? Somebody has inspired them... Somebody? Yep... I don't say that arrogantly but a lot goes into the delivery of home care physical therapy than into the actual plan of care. People know if I love what I do just like you get vibes from unhappy employees at the cash register etc. I love what I do - and people know it. I shoot straight for the heart every time - and every time I win - so they win! Beginner exercise programs are the first place to start... if you've gone through physical therapy or are going to be facing it in the near or far future, take full advantage of it. It's like Medicare's way of giving you a free taste of a better way of life. You'll be all the stronger and better for it! If PT is not in your plans... start now, to avoid it at all costs!
