Therapeutic Exercise encompasses a wide spectrum, including range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, flexibility exercises, and balance and coordination exercises. Range of motion exercises focus on improving the flexibility and mobility of joints, reducing stiffness and promoting normal joint function. Strengthening exercises target specific muscle groups to enhance strength, stability, and overall functional capacity. Flexibility exercises aim to improve muscle length and reduce muscle tightness, contributing to improved range of motion and posture. Balance and coordination exercises play a crucial role in preventing falls and enhancing proprioception, particularly important for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries. In addition to the physical benefits, Therapeutic Exercise often includes an educational component. Patients are educated on proper Body Mechanics, posture, and techniques to perform exercises effectively and safely. This knowledge empowers individuals to take an active role in their rehabilitation and make lifestyle changes that contribute to long-term well-being. The progression of Therapeutic Exercises is carefully managed, with adjustments made based on the individual's response and progress. Therapeutic Exercise extends beyond the clinical setting, with patients encouraged to incorporate prescribed exercises into their daily routines. This continuity of care helps individuals maintain the gains achieved during therapy, fostering a sustainable and holistic approach to health and wellness.
