Exercise Therapy

Exercise Therapy

The therapeutic exercise involves movement prescribed to correct impairments, restore muscular and skeletal function and/or maintain a state of well-being. Several studies have consistently proven that Progressively overloaded Therapeutic Exercise is the solution for several pains and chronic injuries.

For most adults, an exercise program including aerobic, resistance, flexibility, and neuromotor exercise training is indispensable in improving and maintaining physical fitness and health

What are the types of exercises?

There are several types of exercises such as aerobic and endurance conditioning and reconditioning, agility training, body mechanics training, breathing exercises, coordination exercises, developmental activities training, etc.

The most commonly included exercises fall into 4 groups:

• Strengthening exercises, usually performed with heavy resistance and fewer repetitions.

• Endurance exercises that engage large muscle groups over a longer period, in the area of 50 to 60% VO2Max to achieve greater cardiovascular endurance.

• Flexibility exercises achieved through stretching and mobility.

• Balance and coordination exercises that focus on maintaining an individual's center of gravity

We also follow a ‘progressive overload’ pattern of training, so that your pain does not aggravate but we carefully help build your muscle strength

At FLEXITUDE, we strongly believe that exercises form the backbone of any chronic pain management and help in preventing recurrence. Our Physiotherapist will plan a tailor-made exercise program for you, specific to your body type and problem to combat your pain and injury.
