Dr. Matthew Bortolussi was a featured expert on fitness products that support rehabilitation. Here’s the excerpt:
If I had to choose one fitness product to recommend to someone recovering from an injury, it would be an exercise mat.

Resistance with bands or weights is generally a progression later on in the recovery process. As the patient progresses, that exercise mat can continue to serve them at all stages of rehabilitation and beyond, whether they’re returning to the level of physical activity and exercise they enjoyed pre-injury, or begin incorporating some new physical movement into their lifestyle.
