Overview
The term "home exercise prescription" has a passive connotation. Instead, we should use a term that empowers patients in their rehabilitation journey. This shift emphasizes patient engagement and collaboration rather than a unilateral prescription. It fosters a sense of ownership, encouraging adherence and better outcomes. Moreover, it reflects the evolving role of physiotherapists from directive to facilitative partners in patient care.
By reframing the language, physiotherapists promote a patient-centred approach, enhancing motivation, compliance, and ultimately, the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions.
