Therapeutic Exercise is a movement-based method that focuses on restoring physical performance through structured physical activity. It is commonly included in recovery plans after injury or periods of reduced movement.
Before starting, a detailed evaluation is completed to observe posture, balance, joint range, and muscle activation patterns. This helps in selecting suitable movements that match current physical capacity.
Sessions may include controlled stretching, resistance-based movements, stability work, and coordination drills. Each stage is adjusted based on how the body responds over time.
Activities often simulate everyday actions such as bending, lifting, walking patterns, and stair movement to support smoother daily function.
Therapeutic Exercise can be included in recovery plans for a wide range of physical concerns, including:
