THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE

Therapeutic exercise refers to a wide range of physical activities that focus on restoring and maintaining strength, endurance, flexibility, stability, and balance. The goal of therapeutic exercises is to return an injured patient to a fully functioning, pain-free state. They can also prevent loss of function and enhance a patient’s functional capabilities. If you need to prevent and decrease impairment and disability, therapeutic exercise might be very helpful at improving your overall health status, fitness, and sense of well-being.

TYPES OF THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES

Therapeutic exercises are classified according to the aim and purpose of the exercises into many types:


  1. Range of motion exercises aims to maintain and increase range of motion as traditional ROM exercises (passive, active, and active-assisted ROM exercises) and techniques of joint mobilization and soft tissue stretching.
  2. Muscle performance exercises to increase muscle strength, power, and endurance as resisted exercises and endurance exercises.
  3. Postural exercises to improve posture and correct faulty posture.
  4. Balance and coordination exercises to improve balance and coordination.
  5. Relaxation exercises to induce relaxation.
  6. Area-specific exercises as breathing exercises and circulatory exercises.
