Exercise therapy is a rehabilitation approach that involves a structured program of physical activities aimed at restoring function, improving strength, and enhancing mobility after injury or surgery. It is tailored to the individual’s specific needs, focusing on exercises that address their condition and goals. Exercise therapy helps improve cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, balance, and joint mobility.

Therapeutic exercises may include aerobic exercises, strengthening exercises, stretching, and balance training, depending on the patient's condition. It is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions like arthritis.

Exercise therapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation by improving physical function, preventing re-injury, and enhancing overall quality of life.
