Supporting your recovery and return home: what is deconditioning?
While resting in bed might feel natural during your hospital stay, prolonged inactivity can significantly impact your health, wellbeing, and recovery.
Spending too much time lying down weakens your muscles, making it harder to regain independence and return to your usual activities at home.
Staying active and moving regularly is crucial during your time with us. Our dedicated nursing teams are here to support you and will work closely with you and your family to help you maintain your mobility and facilitate a safe return home.
