What Are Rehabilitation Exercises?
Rehabilitation exercises are physical activities and movements that aim to help individuals recover from an injury, surgery, and help manage chronic or musculoskeletal pain. These exercises are specifically designed to promote healing by strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall body function. Benefits of rehabilitation exercises include pain relief, recovered ability, prevention of further injury, improved mobility, and increased independence.
How Do Rehabilitation Exercises Help Manage Pain?
Rehabilitation exercises help manage pain by targeting specific conditions and their associated symptoms. The main types of rehabilitation exercises used in pain management include:
Strengthening Exercises: Enhance the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around an injured or weakened area, stabilizing joints and preventing further injury.
Stretching Exercises: Improve flexibility and range-of-motion in joints and muscles to reduce stiffness, improve posture, and help lower the risk of future injuries.
Endurance or Aerobic Exercises: These exercises improve cardiovascular health and stamina, helping the body tolerate physical activity and enhance recovery.
Balance and Coordination Exercises: These exercises are crucial for patients recovering from joint replacements, fractures, or neurobiological conditions, helping to regain stability and prevent falls or re-injury after surgery or trauma.
Postural Exercises: Correct improper posture, align the spine and joints, relieve pain, and strengthen core muscles.
Neuromuscular Re-education: These exercises retrain the brain and muscles to work together after injury or surgery, benefiting patients with nerve damage, joint instability, or neurological conditions like stroke and multiple sclerosis.
Functional Exercises : Designed to enhance your ability to perform everyday tasks, such as bending, lifting, and walking, with greater ease.
