Therapeutic exercise is a graded range of physical activities, or exercises, to one or more areas of the body. The goal of therapeutic exercise is to return you to pain-free, full function. Therapeutic exercise may include strengthening exercises, endurance exercises, flexibility exercises and balance and coordination exercises. It is specific to your pain and condition.
The overall goal and benefit of therapeutic exercise is a return to pain-free, full function. Therapeutic exercise can prevent or remedy body function impairments, increase strength and endurance, increase range of motion and flexibility.
“When I started physical therapy, I could not raise my arms. I am now able to raise my arm, do weight strengthening exercise, shoot my bow. I have very little pain, when I first started it was every day. I would return to Pintler Physical Therapy if I need further treatment.”
