Therapeutic exercise is a core component of physical therapy, which involves the use of specific exercises and movements to improve function, mobility, and strength in patients. Therapeutic exercises are tailored to the individual needs of each patient and are designed to address their specific condition, injury, or limitation. Therapeutic exercise can help patients recover from surgery or injury, reduce pain, improve balance and coordination, and enhance overall physical performance. A physical therapist will develop a personalized exercise plan for each patient, which may include stretching, strength training, balance exercises, cardiovascular exercise, and other modalities. Therapeutic exercise is often used in combination with other physical therapy modalities, such as manual therapy and modalities like electrical stimulation or ultrasound, to optimize treatment outcomes.
