PHOENIX introduced the Thera-Band® Active Care System to each of its 40 outpatient facilities approximately two years ago.  Endorsed by the APTA, these rehabilitation and wellness products are useful for therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education and functional activities, hence giving healthcare providers new options for home exercise programs as well as expanding current clinical procedures.  Thera-Band® is packaged for consumers and is designed to transfer a clinic program to in-home program.  Additionally, these products come with comprehensive illustrated exercise instructions for improved ease of use by patients. The Thera-Band® products can help so many different patients from balance problems to plantar fasciitis not to mention tendon and ligament repairs.  

Patient empowerment, motivation, and active participation in home exercise programs that complement in-clinic care are all critical topics for today's healthcare providers. They promote better outcomes and a transition to a healthier lifestyle after recovery.
