Therapeutic exercises are physical exercises and movements performed to aid in recovery and healing and improve strength while decreasing pain. Therapeutic exercise may include range of motion exercises, resistive exercise, balance and strength training, or aerobic conditioning, depending on the type of injury or condition. Therapeutic exercise may also be combined with other types of therapy.

Therapeutic exercise involves physical activities and movements to correct impairments or restore function. Therapeutic exercises include strengthening and endurance exercises, flexibility exercises, and balance and coordination exercises. Depending on your treatment needs and the stage of healing, your therapeutic exercise plan could include aerobic conditioning, breathing exercises, coordination and developmental activities, or resistance and flexibility training. It may be combined with other types of therapy. We will work with you to develop a treatment plan of therapeutic exercises to aid in your recovery and healing and teach you the proper technique for each movement.
