Many people assume that anyone participating in physical therapy treatments is recovering from recent surgery. However, that is not always the case. Physical therapy provides a multitude of benefits for anyone wishing to restore their strength, endurance, flexibility, or stability. In fact, physical therapy is used as a treatment for any pain, injury, or ailment someone may be facing. Therapeutic exercise is a great way to restore function and live a pain-free life.
What does therapeutic exercise do?
Exercise programs are aimed at improving health, so you can feel better than you did beforehand. Therapeutic exercise is similar in this way; however, it also implements targeted activities that are aimed at relieving pain and restoring you to your optimum level of physical function. Therapeutic exercise can also be used as a way to prevent additional impairment or disability when facing certain physical risks.
There are a wide variety of therapeutic exercises and each one has a unique purpose. These include:
- Area-Specific Exercises
- Balance & Coordination Exercises
- Muscle Performance Exercises
- Range of Motion Exercises
- Posture Exercises
- Relaxation Exercises
Relieving pain with therapeutic exercise:
It is a common misconception that one should constantly rest when they are in pain. However, this can actually cause your muscles to weaken during the healing process, which can lead to decreased functionality and more pain in the long run.
Our physical therapist will design an individualized treatment plan for you equipped with the therapeutic exercises you need to alleviate your pain, strengthen the weak areas of your body, promote the healing process, and restore function.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_button corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” letter_spacing=”3″ icon=”mk-moon-clipboard-4″ url=” https://meadowlandtherapy.com/patient-forms/” target=”_blank” nofollow=”true” button_custom_width=”330″ margin_top=”15″ margin_right=”0″ bg_color=”#540000″]PATIENT INFO/FORMS[/mk_button][mk_button corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” letter_spacing=”3″ icon=”mk-icon-question-circle” url=”https://meadowlandtherapy.com/faq/” target=”_blank” nofollow=”true” button_custom_width=”330″ margin_top=”15″ bg_color=”#540000″]FAQ’s[/mk_button][mk_button corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” letter_spacing=”3″ icon=”mk-icon-male” url=”https://meadowlandtherapy.com/services-basic/” target=”_blank” nofollow=”true” button_custom_width=”330″ margin_top=”15″ bg_color=”#540000″]CONDITIONS WE TREAT[/mk_button][mk_button corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” letter_spacing=”3″ icon=”mk-moon-location-2″ url=”https://www.google.com/maps/dir/42.9191178,-112.4159531/meadowland+therapy/@42.9127021,-112.4811245,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!4m8!1m1!4e1!1m5!1m1!1s0x535545eaf91bf6e9:0x9aa1ffb145463f8d!2m2!1d-112.4718873!2d42.9048484″ target=”_blank” nofollow=”true” button_custom_width=”330″ margin_top=”15″ bg_color=”#540000″]CLICK FOR OUR MAP[/mk_button][mk_padding_divider][mk_contact_info title=”OUR LOCATION” phone=”(208) 233-4800″ fax=”(208) 233-4887″ email=”meadowlandtherapy@gmail.com” address=”1033 W.
