A Physiofixme program incorporates five key success factors needed for a successful rehabilitation programme.
Key success Factor One:
Physiofixme’s
Rehabilitate•Prevent•Perform approach ensures all aspects of the recovery process are addressed.
Key Success Factor Two:
A clear description of why the programme is going to help with your particular injury is given.
Key Success Factor Three:
A clear descrition of each exercise is given including pictures. The duration, frequency and intensity of the exercises in the program are set according to ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) Guidelines for exercise testing and prescription.
Clear instructions on safe progression of each exercise is given.
Key Success Factor Four:
Each programme includes a chart for recording the days on which you complete the program so you can easily monitor your progress. This self monitoring is key when it comes to removing barriers to the success of home programs. Research has shown that if people have some way of recording and monitoring their progress, they are more likely to continue with the programme rather than give up within the first week.
Key Success Factor Five:
All Physiofixme programs can be adapted for home or gym use. The basic equipment needed for home programmes can be easily purchased over the internet or though local sports stores.
The use of home exercise programmes and equipment removes another barrier in terms of rehabilitation as people don’t need to be gym members to do the programme.
