Restorative strategies in therapy focus on returning individuals to a state of functional normalcy after physical setbacks. These strategies integrate elements of physical, occupational, and psychological therapies. By combining strength training, flexibility exercises, and mental wellness support, restorative strategies target the full scope of recovery. Often used in cases of chronic pain, post-surgery, or neurological impairments, these methods emphasize gradual improvement in functional ability and autonomy. Techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, alongside physical rehabilitation, aid in coping with the psychological impact of injury. Restorative therapy is thus holistic, promoting both physical recovery and mental resilience.
