What Is Therapeutic Exercise?
Therapeutic exercise is a structured form of physical activity used as part of rehabilitation to support movement, strength,
flexibility, balance, endurance, coordination, and functional performance. Exercises are selected and progressed according to an
individual’s condition, abilities, symptoms, and rehabilitation goals.
A personalized therapeutic exercise program may be incorporated into physical therapy to help patients build movement capacity
and work toward practical activities such as walking, reaching, lifting, climbing stairs, returning to activity, or improving everyday
mobility.
Unlike a general workout routine, therapeutic exercise physical therapy focuses on exercises chosen for a specific rehabilitation
need. A physical therapist can monitor technique, adjust the level of challenge, and progress activities as appropriate.
A Personalized Treatment Approach
Every patient has different movement needs. The treatment plan may consider pain, range of motion, muscle strength, balance,
coordination, endurance, posture, functional limitations, and personal goals.
The exercises, repetitions, resistance, intensity, and progression are individualized rather than using the same routine for everyone.
