How Can An Allied Health Assistant Help Me?
AHAs play a crucial role in the day-to-day implementation of your therapy plan. Here’s how they can support you:
- Assist with Exercises: AHAs support you with mobility, strength exercises, and functional activities to help improve independence and strength. Whether it’s post-injury rehab or ongoing physical therapy, AHAs provide hands-on assistance.
- Track Your Progress: AHAs monitor your progress regularly, ensuring your goals are met. They provide updates to your therapist, making necessary adjustments to your plan, so you stay on track.
- Build Healthy Habits: AHAs play a key role in helping you integrate therapy into daily life. They support you in staying consistent with the tasks and routines that matter most, from practising new skills to maintaining progress outside of therapy sessions.
For example, if you’re working on increasing mobility, your AHA will assist you in performing your exercises properly and help track your improvements over time. If you’re focusing on behavioural strategies, your AHA will support you in practising new habits daily, ensuring consistency and real progress.
