Exercise Therapy is a structured plan of physical activities prescribed to work towards the restoration of normal musculoskeletal function or to reduce pain on and around the effected site. One of the features of physiotherapy treatment is that you will generally be given a tailored exercise program to perform between visits to your physiotherapist.
The prescription of home exercises is often a very important part of treatment and recovery. Whilst 'hands-on' treatment is very important, you will obtain longer lasting and more permanent correction of your problem if you perform recovery enhancing exercises. There are many advantages to a customised exercise program including muscle strengthening, posture correction and re-training, and cardiovascular stretching and training.
A home exercise program created by Essential Care Physiotherapy will assist in the effectiveness of your treatment and enhance your recovery. A home exercise program will help prevent recurrence of your problem and will reduce the need for multiple sessions of treatment.
