Physical Therapist's Sample Kit

Create HEP

The Physical Therapist created Shruti’s Home Exercise Program that included movements to encourage appropriate stress to provide relief from unilateral Hip abductor pain, and initiation of strengthening for the core musculature to help manage her problem. Proper form, frequency, and duration were all instructed and discussed. Her exercise program will be progressed at each future visit.
