    \n
  • Falls<\/strong>:\u00a0Weakness or poor balance\u00a0can lead to dangerous falls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n

        \n
      • Blood clots (DVT):<\/strong> Low activity can increase the risk of clots in legs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Joint stiffness or muscle weakness: <\/strong>Inactivity can slow your progress and limit mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n

            \ud83c\udfe0<\/strong>How to Start Safe Home Rehab After Discharge<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Here\u2019s how to safely restart movement and rehab at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. \u2705 Book a Home Physio Assessment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Everyone recovers differently. A home physiotherapist will assess your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Balance & mobility<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Muscle strength & joint flexibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Pain level & safety risks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                 We personalise your rehab based on your condition- whether you had stroke, post-surgery, fracture or general weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                2. \u2705 Start Gentle Exercises in Bed or Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                You can begin movement even while resting. We guide you through simple home exercises such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n

                    Use a walking aid if needed, and increase distance slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    4. \u2705 Monitor Progress & Prevent Setbacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
