Therapeutic Exercise

Robert B.

When I came to Pure Physical Therapy I was experiencing great discomfort in my upper back, neck, and right shoulder. My range of motion and posture was hindered due to pain. I started to notice a great improvement in my range of motion. I made it my personal goal to not use pain meds and use all the therapeutic exercises daily!

Anon

On December 8th, I was involved in a serious accident that left multiple fractures to my pelvis and deep scar tissue to my right thigh. I was in bed visit rest for three months. I was worried that the muscles in my leg wouldn’t regain the strength they had. We came into Pure Physical Therapy and spoke to Mr. Frank Garza. After the evaluation, Mr. Garza asked what I expected out of PT. I told him, “to go back to using my leg, back at 100%,” he looked at me and said, “let’s do it then” with a nod of confidence. They gave me the push I needed to walk again.

Louella H.

When I first got to Pure Physical Therapy I was in extreme lower back pain. I could barely sit down and had great difficulty getting up from a chair or out of bed. Amy began working with me and little by little I began to feel less pain and was more mobile. Now I don’t feel any back pain and I have a great set of exercises that I will continue to use moving forward to strengthen my back.

Mary R.

After driving here from Iowa, I developed Sciatica with pain radiating down my right leg to the ankle. Needless to say from past experiences I really didn’t think they could help me… But, to my surprise after six weeks of attending and faithfully following my exercises at home, I am pain-free.

Kayla G.

I was in a car accident which resulted in a fractured wrist and pinky. I was in a cast for two months which kept my left hand completely immobilized. Upon having the cast removed I had trouble performing simple tasks and I refrained from using my left hand. After receiving therapy I am able to now use my left hand for weight lifting tasks. I feel I am able to use my wrist and finger (pinky) in a lot more of my everyday tasks. The stretches and exercises really help.

Cindy P.

When I started at Pure Therapy I was experiencing pain from scoliosis and nerve pain from pinched nerves and 4 herniations in my lower back. I walked crooked and had developed a large knot in my right hip area due to the scoliosis. It wasn’t long before the knot on my hip was gone, and I was walking better. They also spent many hours working on my nerve pain issues, stretching my tight muscles and trying different techniques to help me improve.

Ramon E.

My pain has not increased but with every session has decreased. Communication between the staff was great with treatments provided and exercises given were helpful so that I could continue with self-treatment and realize that I can use the advice and keep myself in better shape with my daily family and occupational life routines. I realize that I can now be more active with proper technique.

Therapeutic Exercise and You

Relieve Your Pain and Move with Ease – Give Therapeutic Exercise a Try!

Are you looking to improve your physical activity and relieve your pain? Therapeutic exercise is a safe and easy way for people of all ages to find pain relief!

Therapeutic exercise is a great way to restore function and live a pain-free life. Many people assume that anyone participating in physical therapy treatments is recovering from recent surgery.

However, that is not always the case. Physical therapy provides a multitude of benefits for anyone wishing to restore their strength, endurance, flexibility, or stability.

In fact, physical therapy is used as a treatment for any pain, injury, or ailment someone may be facing.

For more information on how therapeutic exercise may benefit you, contact Pure Physical Therapy & Pilates today!

How will therapeutic exercise relieve my pain?

It is a common misconception that one should constantly rest when they are in pain.

However, this can actually cause your muscles to weaken during the healing process, which can lead to decreased functionality and more pain in the long run.

Our McAllen, TX physical therapists are movement experts, trained in improving strength, range of motion, and overall function of the body.

Our physical therapist will design an individualized treatment plan for you equipped with the therapeutic exercises you need to alleviate your pain, strengthen the weak areas of your body, promote the healing process, and restore function.

At Pure Physical Therapy & Pilates, our goal is to help you live a pain-free life with even greater strength and endurance than you had before.

What will I gain from therapeutic exercise?

Exercise programs are aimed at improving health, so you can feel better than you did beforehand.

Therapeutic exercise is similar in this way; however, it also implements targeted activities that are aimed at relieving pain and restoring you to your optimum level of physical function.

Therapeutic exercise can also be used as a way to prevent additional impairment or disability when facing certain physical risks.

There is a wide variety of therapeutic exercises and each one has a unique purpose. These include:

Muscle Performance Exercises

Increasing power, endurance, and muscle strength are vital to good balance and stability, as well as bone and joint health.

Resistance and endurance exercises are designed to increase muscle strength without injury.

Balance & Coordination Exercises

Every time you stand or sit, bones and muscles work in conjunction with one another to help you remain upright.

Every time you stand, walk, sit, brush your teeth, cook a meal, or take care of your daily activities, you are testing your coordination between the muscular and skeletal systems in your body.

Your ability to care for yourself or your loved ones depends on your ability to balance and coordinate your arms, legs, hands, and feet. That is why balance and coordination exercises are so important, especially after an injury or illness.

If you cannot keep your balance or lose your coordination, you lose the ability to care for yourself.

Area-Specific Exercises

It’s easy to think of exercise as something we do with our muscles, but exercise can also help our body’s other systems.

Area-specific exercises target breathing and circulation to help speed healing, improve blood flow, or lower stress on the body.

Relaxation Exercises

Relaxation is part of therapeutic exercise? You bet!

While it is important to work the muscles, joints, and soft tissues in the body, it is also important to help them relax.

Pain relieving techniques including heat, cold, electrical stimulation, massage, or trigger point therapy, can all help the body relax, improve your sleep, lower your blood pressure, and keep you coming back for more exercise!

Posture Exercises

Hours spent at desks, bending over keyboards, poor muscle tone, or simply poor posture habits can all lead to pain or injury.

What you may not realize is that posture has a direct impact on muscle strength, balance, and risk of injury.

Posture exercises are aimed at correcting poor posture, not just when you exercise, but also in your daily life activities to alleviate aches and pains.

Range of Motion Exercises

These exercises are aimed at increasing the range of motion in your joints and soft tissues.

This may be done through active, passive, or assisted stretching activities designed to help your joints move better, without pain.
