Therapeutic exercise

What is Therapeutic Exercise?

Therapeutic exercise is a specialized form of physical activity designed to help individuals recover from various orthopedic conditions or injuries. These exercises aim to improve both disability and performance within a patient population, addressing specific needs and goals.

Therapeutic exercises benefit patients suffering from a range of orthopedic issues by improving motor function, strength, flexibility, balance, and reducing pain. By targeting specific muscles and joints, these exercises promote healing, prevent further injury, and enhance overall wellness.

Some common techniques used in therapeutic exercise sessions include:

• Resistance training: improves muscle strength and endurance through the use of weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises
• Aerobic training: focuses on cardiovascular health, increasing heart rate and circulation, which aids in recovery and reduces inflammation
• Flexibility training: incorporates stretching exercises to increase joint range of motion and muscle elasticity
• Balance training: helps improve stability, coordination, and proprioception, reducing the risk of falls and re-injury
• Pain reduction exercises: utilize techniques such as gentle mobilization, isometrics, and relaxation exercises to alleviate discomfort
