What is Targeted Exercise Rehabilitation

Targeted Exercise Rehabilitation refers to a specialized approach to rehabilitation that focuses on using specific exercises to address the individual needs and limitations of a person recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions. This type of rehabilitation program is often tailored to the patient's unique circumstances, taking into account their injury or condition, overall health, fitness level, and rehabilitation goals.

The goal of targeted exercise rehabilitation is to improve strength, flexibility, mobility, and function in the affected area(s) while minimizing pain and risk of further injury. It typically involves a combination of exercises designed to target specific muscle groups, joints, or movement patterns that have been affected by injury or dysfunction.

These exercises are often prescribed and supervised by a qualified healthcare professional such as a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or certified exercise physiologist. They may include a variety of techniques such as stretching, strengthening exercises, balance and proprioception training, functional movements, and cardiovascular conditioning.

Targeted exercise rehabilitation programs are usually progressive, meaning they start with gentle exercises and gradually increase in intensity and complexity as the patient progresses in their recovery. The ultimate aim is to restore optimal function and help the individual return to their normal activities, whether that's work, sports, or daily life, with reduced pain and improved performance.
