Therapeutic Exercises Are The Backbone of Physical Therapy
According to the National Library of Medicine, “therapeutic exercise involves movement prescribed to correct impairments, restore muscular and skeletal function and/or maintain a state of well-being.”
How Does Therapeutic Exercise Help?
Our physical therapists teach you the appropriate therapeutic exercises to regain your health. The goals for therapeutic exercise include:
- regaining strength
- improving your range of motion or movement
- reducing your pain
- increasing your aerobic capacity
- improving your flexibility
- increasing your balance and coordination
Different Exercises For Different Needs
Because everyone is different, therapeutic exercise is applied differently for several reasons. Accordingly, the frequency, intensity, duration, and type of exercise depend on your specific needs.
Our physical therapists work with you to help restore your prior function with the appropriate therapeutic exercises.
