What is Therapeutic Exercise?
Therapeutic exercise utilizes structured body movements to enhance and restore physical function. It aims to aid patients in recovering strength, flexibility, and endurance related to specific physical issues while preventing further impairment.
Therapeutic care is divided into two groups, active and passive, and are based on how they’re performed.
Active therapeutic care
Active therapy utilizes exercises, and muscle contraction, and produces movement; examples include:
- Core strengthening exercises such as planks, stability ball, and crunches
- Balance and coordination exercises such as single leg stances, yoga, and balance board
- Strength training exercises such as squats, lunges, and resistance bands
- Flexibility and range of motion exercises such as hamstring stretches, calf stretches, and shoulder stretches
- Functional movement exercises such as step-ups, reaching exercises, and marching in place
- Cardiovascular or endurance exercises such as aerobics, treadmill, and cycling
Passive therapeutic care
Passive care incorporates an external force to produce movement examples include:
- Heat therapy
- Cold therapy
- Electrical stimulation (E-stim)
- Joint mobilization and manipulation

- Massage therapy
Each type of physical therapy we offer contributes to the healing process, offers overall well-being, and encourages a healthy lifestyle so you can get better faster and stay that way.
