Habits
Physical Therapy Adherence
Physical therapy adherence is keeping visits and home exercises consistent—often the strongest predictor of rehab success beyond clinic time alone.
Physical therapy adherence means showing up for scheduled PT visits and completing prescribed home work between sessions—not only attending week one. Outcomes track consistency more than perfect form on day one.
Barriers are time, pain fear, and unclear homework; fixes are calendar blocks, shorter daily doses, and written cues from your therapist.
Common questions
-
What if pain makes you skip home exercises?
Message your PT—often the plan can swap painful moves for isometrics or shorter doses; skipping silently is what derails progress, not asking for a yellow-light modification.
