Exercise Based Therapy
Therapeutic exercise:
Sometimes the best treatment is also the simplest and while these other treatment techniques can be very effective for musculoskeletal conditions the exercise is the real medicine. We utilize a variety of exercises aimed at improving pain, strength, ROM, and coordination to promote tissue health and overall function to meet each person’s individual goals. Therapeutic exercise is exercise that is prescribed to correct impairments that are caused by weakness in the skeletal muscles, that in result allows people achieve functional goals. Therapeutic exercise has many benefits including: increasing muscle strength, improving balance, flexibility and Range of motion as well as decreasing pain.
Types of therapeutic exercise:
- Aerobic
- Endurance
- Coordination
- Neuromuscular re education
- Range of motion
3 forms of strength training:
- Isometric static, no change in muscle length
- Isotonic dynamic with constant load
- isokinetic constant velocity and variable load.
