Recovering from an injury can be a tough journey. However, a strategic approach embedding therapeutic exercise in your recovery plan can change the game. Exercise therapy carries both curative and preventive benefits, making it a compelling tool for injury recovery and future injury prevention. At the Orthopaedic Sport Institute, we firmly believe in the healing power of structured and focused exercise.
What is Exercise Therapy?
Exercise therapy is a regimented physical activity program designed to rehabilitate injuries and restore normal functionality of affected areas. It involves strength training, flexibility exercises, and balance training which are specifically tailored to the patient’s needs. Exercise Therapists at the Orthopaedic Sport Institute are skilled professionals who use evidence-based therapeutic interventions and are well-versed in modern medical techniques like platelet-rich plasma reinjection (PRP), stem cell injection, shockwave therapy, and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections.
Exercise Therapy for Injury Recovery
When an injury occurs, the body initiates a natural healing process. Exercise therapy aids this process by promoting blood circulation, enhancing lymphatic activity, improving mobility, and rebuilding strength in the injured area. The targeted exercises recommended by our therapists can help manage pain and inflammation, speeding up the recovery process.
Exercise Therapy for Muscle Strengthening
One of the key aspects of injury rehabilitation is the restoration of strength. Muscle weakness or imbalance can not only prolong your recovery but also increase the risk of future injuries. Exercise Therapy uses a range of strength training exercises specifically designed to address these issues, providing a sturdy foundation for your recovery.
Better Flexibility, Faster Recovery
A crucial, yet often overlooked aspect of recovery is flexibility. Increased flexibility allows for a greater range of motion and less strain on the muscles and joints. Exercise therapy integrates flexibility exercises that help stretch and lengthen your muscles, making them more adaptable to stress.
Achieving and Maintaining Balance
Balancing exercises included in our therapy programme not only increase stability but also improve coordination and reduce the risk of falls and other injuries. This aspect of exercise therapy becomes extremely significant particularly in the rehabilitation of injuries of the lower extremities and spine.
Exercise Therapy and Pain Management
Exercise therapy can be a natural means of pain management. By stimulating the production of endorphins, "the body's natural painkillers", Exercise Therapy can help significantly in managing your pain levels while keeping any dependency on medication to a minimum.
Taking Your Recovery Beyond Rehabilitation
Exercise therapy not only aids in active recovery but also helps to safeguard you from potential injuries in the future. Consistent application of exercise therapy fosters increased bodily strength, better balance, and enhanced flexibility—making you less susceptible to injuries down the line.
