About Home Exercise Programmes – Home Visits in Penang

A personalised home exercise programme (HEP) is the backbone of physiotherapy recovery. Your physiotherapist designs a set of exercises tailored to your condition, demonstrates each one in your home, and provides written or video instructions for daily practice.

This is included in every home visit session in Penang. The programme evolves as you progress, with new exercises added and difficulty increased at each visit.

How to prepare

Set aside a consistent time each day (morning often works best). Keep a printed exercise sheet or saved video link visible as a reminder. Have water, a chair, and any prescribed resistance band ready.

When it is not suitable

Skip or modify exercises if you have a fever, new or worsening pain lasting more than 2 hours post-exercise, unexplained dizziness, or acute injury. Contact your physiotherapist before resuming.

What to expect after

Keep a simple log – date, exercises done, difficulty level, and pain score. Bring the log to each physiotherapist visit. Your Penang home visit physiotherapist uses it to progress or regress the programme at each session.

Home Exercise Programmes – Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a written exercise programme?

Yes. Your Penang home visit physiotherapist provides a clear exercise programme with illustrations or video links. This ensures you can practise correctly between sessions.

How long should I spend on home exercises each day?

Most programmes take 15-30 minutes daily. Consistency matters more than duration. Even 15 minutes of the right exercises daily will produce better results than an hour once a week.

Is the home exercise programme charged separately in Penang?

No. Designing, teaching, and progressing your home exercise programme is included in the standard RM 150-250 home visit session. There is no additional charge for written handouts or video links.

What if I find a home exercise too hard or painful between visits?

Stop that exercise and message your physiotherapist via WhatsApp. They can adjust the programme remotely or move the next visit earlier. Pain that lasts more than 2 hours after exercise is a sign the load is too high.

Is this treatment safe for older adults?

Yes, when delivered by a MAHPC-registered physiotherapist who tailors intensity and technique to the patient. Your physiotherapist will screen for contraindications (e.g. osteoporosis, skin conditions, medications) before starting.
