What is general deconditioning?


General deconditioning refers to a decline in physical fitness and function that can occur when a person is inactive or has limited physical activity. This can happen due to a variety of factors, such as illness, injury, surgery, or prolonged bed rest.

General deconditioning can lead to a range of physical symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue, and reduced endurance. It can also increase the risk of falls and other injuries, as well as negatively impact a person's quality of life.

Fortunately, general deconditioning can often be reversed with appropriate interventions, such as physical therapy and exercise programs. These interventions can help improve muscle strength, endurance, and overall physical function, leading to improved health and wellbeing.

How can physical therapy help with general deconditioning?


Physical therapy can be an effective way to address general deconditioning by designing and implementing an exercise program tailored to the individual's specific needs and goals. Here are some ways that physical therapy can help with general deconditioning:

  1. Improve muscle strength: Physical therapists can design exercise programs to target specific muscle groups and improve strength. This can help reverse muscle weakness that can occur due to inactivity.

  2. Increase endurance: Physical therapists can design exercise programs to gradually increase endurance and stamina. This can help improve overall physical function and reduce fatigue.

  3. Improve flexibility and range of motion: Physical therapists can design stretching and flexibility exercises to improve joint mobility and range of motion. This can help reduce stiffness and improve overall physical function.

  4. Provide education and support: Physical therapists can provide education and support to help individuals understand the importance of physical activity and how to safely increase their activity level. They can also provide guidance on healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as good nutrition and stress management.

  5. Prevent future deconditioning: Physical therapists can provide strategies and recommendations to help prevent future deconditioning. This may include ongoing exercise programs or lifestyle modifications.

Overall, physical therapy can be a valuable tool for addressing general deconditioning and improving overall physical function and quality of life. By designing individualized exercise programs and providing education and support, physical therapists can help individuals regain strength, endurance, and mobility, and maintain their physical fitness over time.

Patient Reviews


The physical therapist came to our house and carefully reviewed our case. He designed therapies and strategies that have worked well for us. For example, my husband could not get off the floor by himself and I could not lift him when he fell. Together we learned techniques to cope with this situation in our home. Joshua designed fun and effective exercises to improve strength and flexibility. My husband can now get in and out of chairs and cars without help and walks more easily. Since we used equipment in and around the home, my husband can remember and apply what he has learned. Mobile Rehab accepted our insurance and worked out approval to provide services. We did not need a referral from our doctor. My husband and I highly recommend Mobile Rehab if you or a loved one needs physical therapy.Jerry from Pittsboro
I wanted to tell you how much better I think Mom is since starting your PT. She has been less off balance, quicker to equilibrate to standing, and has had more stamina. I also think she is less depressed and feels more accomplished. Josh has been prompt and polite, as well as engaging in conversation to make Mom feel at ease. Thank you!Karen Pool - Google Review
Kelly evaluated me and made some helpful suggestions. I look forward to working with her and improving my balance and muscle strength. Rita - Google Review
The physical therapist was punctual, understanding, flexible, determined and concerned about my recovery. I feel I received the best possible physical therapy from my home until I was able to drive myself to outpatient therapy. Thanks, Kelly for your concern and professional skills.Lois Reed Boswell - Facebook Review
Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough good things about my therapist, Jennifer. After having a complete shoulder replacement and being discharged by my doctor, he recommended that I could still need therapy to help get me back to “normal”. My friend in Asheville recommended Jennifer to me. I set up an appointment and Jen showed up, right on time, at my apartment with her folding table in tow. She was so knowledgeable about how my shoulder worked, the muscles, tendons and the rotator cuff. After working on the painful spots I complained about, she set up a plan to work out the stiffness and soreness. Now, after 2 visits per week for four weeks, I feel like a new woman. At her last visit, she gave me the coping skills I needed to keep my shoulder in good shape. I am so impressed with her work that I recommend her highly as my most favored therapist.Jane Cumby - Google Review
Deb's professional manner is greatly appreciated as she continues to help me maintain my mobility with a variety of exercises and movements. Her positive attitude during my sessions gives me a sense of well-being.Nancy C. - Google Review
Mobile Rehab has an excellent service for patients seeking physical therapy. They are truly professionals. I have been in physical therapy for over four months and have four torn muscles in my rotator cuff. In the beginning my physical therapist, Kelly Swimm, started out very gently. I was in a lot of pain. As time went on my right arm and shoulder began to get stronger. Now I have full range of motion. Kelly took it nice and slow, and after the exercises, I was usually in less pain than when I started out. She is an EXCELLENT Physical Therapist. When I finally got an MRI, Kelly knew the terminology. She showed me pictures of the rotator cuff muscles that were torn. Kelly was always on time; never late. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mobile Rehab and Kelly for anyone seeking in-home physical therapy. Having her come into my home was certainly a big plus. Regards, Kathie
