What are therapeutic exercises?
Therapeutic exercises are a part of most physical therapy programs, but the intention of these exercises varies depending on your condition and end goals. In general, therapeutic exercises are physical movements designed to restore movement function and improve mobility. The exercises may also target needed areas of improvement, such as increasing strength, improving flexibility, or reducing pain and inflammation. Therapeutic exercises are often used alongside other physical therapy modalities to encourage the best results. For example, if your aim is to decrease pain, therapeutic exercises may be used alongside manual therapy techniques, electrical stimulation, and more.
When you have your first session in the clinic, your physical therapist will likely perform a comprehensive assessment of your condition. This will involve physical tests, answering questions about your experiences, and discussing your overall goals. In some cases, your assessment may include or recommend imaging exams. Following your assessment, your physical therapist will discuss options and recommendations for therapeutic exercises and other treatments to improve your condition.
What are examples of therapeutic exercises?
Therapeutic exercises include several types of exercises. Some common examples include:
- Passive range of motion exercises
- Active range of motion exercises
- Assisted range of motion exercises
- Progressive resistance exercises
- Balance exercises
- Strength exercises
- Endurance exercises
Your physical Therapy plan may involve several types of exercises designed to complement one another. As you improve throughout your training program, you will also likely advance to more complex exercises to continually push your recovery forward. It is common to begin with passive exercises before moving to active and resistance exercises. Your physical therapist will monitor your progress throughout your training program and decide when it is time to include additional exercises or treatment modalities.
