Exercise/Rehabilitation Therapy
Using exercise/rehabilitation therapy, our team at The Center for Integrative Care corrects physical impairments, improves musculoskeletal function, and helps maintain your body’s physical state of wellbeing. Exercise – or bodily movement – and rehabilitation therapy can not only correct imbalances within the body, it can also enhance your general health and bring your body to its peak performance. We use a wide range of methods and techniques to get you back to optimal condition.
Exercise/rehabilitation therapy varies from specific activities aimed to improve particular muscles or parts of the body, to general activities used to develop and enhance your overall health. Therapeutic exercises designed to achieve and maintain physical fitness include endurance training, resistance training, and flexibility training. More targeted therapeutic exercises aim to:
- Release contracted muscles and tendons
- Enable mobility (such as walking and running)
- Mobilize joints
- Improve circulation
- Improve coordination
- Improve respiratory capacity
- Reduce rigidity
- Promote relaxation
- Improve balance
- Improve endurance
- Improve muscle strength
No matter what type of exercise is used to treat a specific condition, our ultimate goal is to achieve an optimal level of health and physical fitness. For more information or to get started, call (619) 287-4005.
