Home Exercise Program
Participants will perform a minimum of one exercise from each of the targeted muscle groups at a frequency of every other day, for a total of 3-4 days a week of exercise with a rest day. The entire strengthening exercise routine should take approximately 25-30 minutes to perform, including rest periods. Each muscle grouping of exercises is designed to progress from minimal muscle effort required to moderate to maximal effort. Participants will use a video to perform the exercises as well as a handout with specific instructions.
Short Exercise Program
Participants in this group will attend one in-person visit expected to last about 60 minutes. The clinic visit will consist of standard of care procedures and tests for individuals with mild-to-severe HS .
