Functional recovery methods are tailored strategies that prioritize restoring a person’s ability to perform daily activities post-injury or illness. These methods often combine exercises that enhance strength, flexibility, and balance, focusing on practical movements used in everyday life. Functional recovery emphasizes personalized exercises like squats, reaching, and lifting, which mirror typical activities and help patients rebuild coordination. Therapists also employ strategies such as task-specific training and progressive resistance exercises, which are adjusted to meet each patient’s progress. This approach not only aims at physical improvement but also supports mental resilience, enabling patients to regain independence and adapt smoothly to daily routines.
