Questions about this care
Do I need to bring my cane or walker?
Yes, if you use one. Your therapist checks that it is the right height and shows you how to use it on steps and curbs.
Will the exercises hurt?
We work within what you can tolerate. Tell us if something does not feel right and we change the plan.
Can I do the exercises at home?
Yes. You get a short list on paper, in English or Spanish, and your therapist shows you each one.
