What is Exercise Therapy?

Exercise therapy is a foundational pillar of the physical therapy profession. Exercises are prescribed individually based on what is observed and found during the assessment.

Benefits:
– Increased strength
– Increased mobility and flexibility
– Increased functional movement patterns and motor programming
