• Removing throw rugs.
• Rearranging furniture.
• Setting up safety rails.

Doing your home program as often as prescribed by your physical therapist is essential to your recovery. If the instructions are unclear, ask your physical therapist to explain them to you. Only do exercises that your physical therapist prescribed. Follow their instructions for:

• How often (times per week).
• How many times (repetitions).
• The specific resistance (weight in pounds or band color).
