Therapeutic positioning is a technique that involves adjusting a patient's posture or body alignment to reduce pain, promote optimal circulation, and support healing. This technique is commonly used in rehabilitation to prevent complications such as pressure ulcers, improve comfort, and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments.

The therapist may guide the patient into positions that facilitate proper joint alignment, improve blood flow, or reduce pressure on injured areas. Therapeutic positioning can be particularly useful for individuals with neurological conditions, those recovering from surgery, or individuals with mobility impairments.

Effective therapeutic positioning helps reduce discomfort, prevent complications, and support recovery, improving the overall rehabilitation process and patient outcomes.
