Physical Therapy Exercises for Common Injuries

When you have an injury, it's natural to want to take it easy. Rest is an important part of your recovery. However, physical therapy exercises may also be useful for proper healing. At La Ruffa Chiropractic & Sports Rehab, with our chiropractor in Jupiter, FL, we offer physical therapy exercises in addition to chiropractic care. A chiropractor near you is here to help.

What Is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy focuses on restoring your physical function after an injury or illness. It involves using exercises to help you heal from an injury, function at your best, and help prevent you from becoming injured in the same way again.

We will determine which exercises are beneficial for you and you may complete these exercises at home in addition to regular therapy sessions in the office.

The Potential Benefits of Physical Therapy

It can be tempting to simply allow your body to heal on its own. However, physical therapy has many potential benefits. It may help reduce pain, improve the function of the injured area, and may help you recover faster.

It can be a good way to help correct underlying problems that may have led to the injury, increase your flexibility, and improve your overall strength and balance.

Types of Physical Therapy Exercises

We will utilize different types of physical therapy exercises, depending on your injury.

Range of Motion Exercises

Range of motion exercises are designed to help improve your range of motion and freedom of movement. During range of motion exercises, you'll move the affected body part in certain ways with help and support from our team. We may supervise to make sure you are performing them correctly.

Strengthening Exercises

Strengthening exercises are designed to increase your strength, particularly in areas that are weakened after an injury. You may use weights, resistance bands, or simply your body weight to complete these exercises.
