Home Exercise Program
Extending your child's therapy progress into everyday life at home.
What Is a Home Exercise Program?
A Home Exercise Program (HEP) is a personalized set of activities and exercises designed by your child's therapist to continue skill-building between clinic sessions. These programs are tailored to your child's specific goals and designed to fit naturally into your family's daily routines. By practicing at home, children reinforce the skills they're developing in therapy, leading to faster progress and greater independence.
Is Your Child In Need Of A Home Exercise Program?
Just because you and your family are in the confines of your home during this time, it doesn’t mean your child can’t still achieve a full-body workout with a home exercise program.
Yes, it is true that it can prove difficult for children to partake in the exercise they need right now without physical gym classes or friends to run around and play with. However, it is still important for children to remain active and get their bodies moving as often as possible.
While it undoubtedly isn’t the same as going out on the playground or attending sports practices, there is still plenty that your child can do at home – and our Batavia & Port Charlotte pediatric therapists can provide your child with the right exercises for his or her needs!
To learn more about how we can provide your child with a home exercise program that will get them moving even while continuing to stay at home, don’t hesitate to contact Therapy Care today.
How Can My Child Benefit From A Home Exercise Program?
It is no secret that children are not receiving the amount of exercise they need during these current times, and pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapists are starting to notice.
That is why home exercise programs are becoming more and more important for children and adolescents, and large organizations such as Choose PT are speaking out regarding how critical exercise is for children and adolescents.
In fact, on average a child or adolescent should be receiving at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. As described by Choose PT, exercise is especially important for children in building upon strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, and brain development.
At Therapy Care, our Batavia & Port Charlotte Pediatric Therapists are also aware that each child is different, which is why we will consult with both you and your child to create the best home exercise program tailored to fit his or her needs.
