In most injuries we see, there is usually an underlying weakness present that contributes to instability and makes the body susceptible to breakdown. Therapeutic exercises are specifically designed to target the areas of weakness and prevent future injury by strengthening the vulnerable areas. You want to focus on creating a stable environment with any rehabilitation program. Proper strengthening and biomechanical re-training will promote healing and create a stable joint complex. Another aspect of therapeutic exercise addresses the concerns many people have about the aging process and how it will affect their health and appearance. Two growing concerns that fall under this category are osteoporosis and deterioration in posture. Both can be approached with preventative measures and proper exercise. The exercises consume very little time and energy, which is an added bonus to those who dread the activity.
