Exercise in neighbourhood parks with Rehab Anywhere!

    

Helen heard that some patients forget how to do rehab exercises at home after physiotherapy sessions in hospital. Thomas Mak, Physiotherapist I at Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital, spent over 500 hours after work with his team to develop a webpage named ‘Joint Replacement: Post-operative Care Tips’, promoting the rehab model of ‘rehab anywhere’.

Launched in early October 2018, the new eight-module platform shares information and short videos on post-operative exercises, functional training and care tips. The highlight lies in a map of Tai Po that shows 80 spots where patients can do rehab exercises in the neighbourhood so that they can continue training outside hospital. Besides, they design suitable training for patients based on the available facilities. Both patients and therapists find the map very practical and helpful!
