Exercise therapy involves a structured, planned exercise program aimed at improving physical function, mobility, and strength.
It is a core aspect of physiotherapy that helps patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or manage chronic conditions.
Stretching and Flexibility Exercises – Improves range of motion.
Strengthening Exercises – Builds muscles to support joints.
Aerobic Exercises – Enhances cardiovascular fitness.
Balance and Coordination Training – Helps in improving stability, especially in elderly patients or those with neurological conditions.
Postural Correction Exercises – Corrects imbalances caused by poor posture.
Promotes Healing & Recovery: Increases blood circulation to injured areas, speeding recovery.
Pain Management: Helps manage and alleviate pain, especially in conditions like arthritis, back pain, and musculoskeletal injuries.
Enhances Mobility & Function: Improves flexibility, strength, and overall mobility.
Prevention of further Injuries: Targets specific areas of weakness to reduce the risk of further injury. Teaches patients how to move correctly to prevent strain on the body.
Improves Mental Health: Reduces anxiety and depression through regular physical activity. Releases endorphins that contribute to a better mood and sense of well-being.
Personalized Programs: Exercise therapy is always tailored to the individual’s needs, injury history, and specific goals.
Progressive Approach: Programs are structured to gradually increase in intensity as the patient improves.
Continuous Monitoring & Adjustments: Physiotherapists track progress and adjust the exercises accordingly. Ensures that each step in the rehabilitation process aligns with the patient’s recovery phase.
Sports Injuries: Sprains, strains, ligament tears, and fractures.
Chronic Conditions: Arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic back pain.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: After joint replacement, spinal surgeries, and soft tissue surgeries.
Posture & Alignment Issues: Scoliosis, muscular imbalances, and poor posture.
Balance and Mobility Issues: Especially in elderly patients.
We combine exercise therapy with other treatments like manual therapy, pain modalities, and more, ensuring a well-rounded holistic approach to recovery.
