Physical rehabilitation is the process that an injured or deconditioned person goes through to restore their physical functioning. Our exercise physiologists will evaluate and develop a home exercise program based on clinical findings by your doctor for you to help restore function, reduce pain, prevent lasting disability, and improve your ability to move.
Some interventions your Exercise Physiologist might use include:
- Mobilization
- Strengthening and resistance training
- Balance and vestibular training
- Transfer training
- Exercise prescriptions
- Stretching
- Gait training
Physical rehabilitation can get you back to your prior level of function or maximum potential after a major injury, surgery, fall, disease, or another event that led to deconditioning. Not only will you increase your strength, but you may reduce pain and increase your activity tolerance, endurance, and balance.
