Therapeutic exercise is a component of physical therapy that focuses on using specific exercises to improve strength, flexibility, range of motion, and overall functional capacity. These exercises are tailored to the individual's specific needs, goals, and limitations, and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, neurological disorders, and post-surgical rehabilitation.

The exercises typically include stretches, strengthening movements, and aerobic conditioning, all designed to improve muscle function, restore joint mobility, and enhance overall physical performance. Therapeutic exercise is progressively adjusted as the patient’s condition improves, ensuring continued progress and reducing the risk of further injury.

Therapeutic exercise is an effective rehabilitation strategy for restoring function, enhancing quality of life, and promoting long-term health and wellness.
