Therapeutic exercise (physical therapy) is a comprehensive approach to treatment, prevention, and medical rehabilitation through specially prescribed physical exercises. Each exercise program is individually designed by a physician based on the patient's functional condition and the specific characteristics and stage of the disease.
Main objectives of therapeutic exercise (physical therapy)
- Promoting overall health and well-being.
- Improving physical fitness and endurance.
- Enhancing the functional capacity of specific organs and body systems.
- Preventing the progression of diseases.
- Accelerating recovery after illness, injury, or surgery.
Types of therapeutic exercise programs
There are two main types of therapeutic exercise programs:
General therapeutic exercise
Designed to strengthen the entire body, improve overall physical fitness, and support the immune system.
Specialized therapeutic exercise
Focused on restoring specific functions of affected organs or body systems and addressing particular rehabilitation needs.
The therapeutic benefits of physical exercise are based on carefully controlled and individually prescribed workloads tailored to the needs of patients undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. Therapeutic exercise is prescribed by the attending physician, while a physical therapy specialist develops the training program and methodology. Sessions are conducted by a qualified instructor and, in more complex cases, under the supervision of a physical therapist.
