Preparing Your Space and Equipment, Loop Bands and Standard Resistance Exercise Bands

Before starting your full body physical therapy program, it is important to prepare your space and gather the necessary equipment. Creating a safe and comfortable environment will enhance your overall experience and help you achieve your therapy goals. Here are some key steps to consider when setting up your space.

First, designate a specific area in your home, office, or wherever you will be doing your physical therapy exercises. This area should be well-lit, spacious, and free of clutter to avoid any potential accidents. Make sure to have a comfortable mat or towel to use for floor exercises and have a sturdy chair nearby for seated exercises. The Full Body Physical Therapy Program will have you safely and effectively using resistance bands. We recommend both loop bands, that are placed around your thighs, and 6 foot or greater length standard resistance bands. You may use equipment you already own, purchase them from our website, or purchase from a retailer near you. These bands are used often in physical therapy and gym environments and are easily attainable. (Currently, we only offer shipping within the U.S.A.)

Key Lesson Concepts:

  • Designate a specific area for exercises
  • Gather resistance bands that you already own, purchase from our website, or purchase from a retailer near you
  • Familiarize yourself with exercises and maintain proper form
