What to do after physical therapy ends?

What to do? Follow the PT recommendations and exercise.
A few years back I broke my arm near the elbow in two places. After a few weeks in a sling I began physically therapy. They were very knowledgeable and with their help I significantly increased my arm function.

When my stint with physical therapy was finished I had regained all but 14 degrees of extension of my arm. I was told that was a good result; the limited range would not hamper me much, and it would be hardly noticeable.

I resumed my strength training regimen as usual. It was a once a week full body workout. I would stretch occasionally, but this was not a regular part of my weekly routine. I limited my range of motion on the arm exercises to a pain-free range; I gradually increased my range.

A few months later I stopped by the PT to see if I had increased my range. They were amazed to find I had regained all but two degrees.

We have worked with many clients after they have finished rehab. We use MedX rehabilitation exercise equipment at both our locations - at Austin Personal Training and at New Orleans Fitness Trainers. The unique patented design of our equipment allows us to safely address problem areas. The equipment can be finely adjusted to any condition, weak or strong. Weight changes can be made with increments as small 1/20 of those of most other equipment, and adjustments for range of motion can be made for those with limited mobility.
