This is a testament for physical therapy.

Thank you. Eye opening for me. Lost my darling Parsons Jack Russel Terrier recently and I already feel the difference. She had an instinct to get me moving and finding excuses to have fun. Ì still have her ball. Ì miss her so much. I'm 75 and she was15, therefore too old for any invasive surgery when she damaged her back leaping up toñ catch the ball. And did not cope with pain. . Ì have recurrent Polymyalgia Rheumatica , such a dear little friend would make every effort to dig me out from under the duvet and keep me busy. She did insist on a sleep after lunch . IM HOPING THAT ANOTHER DEAR LITTLE doggie friend finds me. Thank you for bringing the seriousness of this decline to our attention.

Thank you very much for this video

I wish they would've had me moving after my emergency surgies, possibly could've avoided stroke from being immobile for so long in ICU

Why are all the deconditioning videos about old people and the delayed stay in the hospital due to finding care? What about people who had sepsis or were in a coma and ended up being in the hospital for four or five months? What about all the young people who are deconditioned? Where are those videos? I was in the hospital for five months and then discharged with no nutritional or physical guidance whatsoever. A year and a half later I’m still housebound and just barely realizing how devastating the deconditioning is for every aspect of the body, especially the metabolism, gut Microbiome, enzymes and hormones. It devastates the whole body and there’s no education for patients on this. So they go home and feel like they’re dying and they don’t know how to recover from it, and end up wasting years of their lives. That’s what happened to me. Now with some awareness I can hopefully change this and get my life back.
