Resistance bands are a favorite tool in rehabilitation. They are light, gentle on joints and let you build strength gradually at a pace that suits your recovery.
Why they work well
- Adjustable resistance that grows with your strength.
- Smooth movement that is kind to healing joints.
- Easy to use at home between visits.
Moves often used in recovery
Common exercises include seated rows, shoulder raises, leg presses and gentle hip movements. Your plan should be tailored to your needs.
Control the band in both directions. Slow, steady movement builds strength safely.
Stay safe
Check bands for wear, start with light resistance and stop if you feel sharp pain.
