Restorative therapies are essential in physical rehabilitation, designed to restore function and improve overall well-being. Techniques in this category focus on neuromuscular reeducation, strengthening, and flexibility enhancement. Restorative approaches, such as manual therapy, regenerative exercises, and hydrotherapy, aim to address the root of physical impairments and support recovery after injuries or surgeries. Additionally, technological advancements like robotic-assisted therapies and virtual reality have broadened the impact of restorative treatments, allowing for highly personalized rehabilitation plans. These therapies support functional independence and psychological resilience, ultimately leading patients toward an enhanced quality of life and improved ability to perform daily tasks.
