Resistance bands are great tools for rehabilitation of injuries as well as for incorporating into your workouts.
They come in a variety of materials, most commonly rubber or a woven material. They also come in a variety of colours, take note of the colour because usually they indicate the strength of band (light, medium, heavy) … so don’t always go straight for your favourite colour!
Resistance bands allow you to complete strength training exercises in your own home. They allow you to complete a variety of upper and lower limb exercises without needing to have an extensive amount of gym equipment. This also means that they are easily portable and can be taken with you when travelling to maintain consistency with your rehabilitation.
With injury rehabilitation it is important to regain your full range of movement associated with the area affected. To reach your full functional abilities though, we must ensure that you have the necessary strength required to complete your daily activities and hobbies.
Come in and see us at Physio4U to get yourself a resistance band and speak to our physiotherapists about suitable exercises to aid with your injury rehabilitation or to incorporate into your workouts!
