Active Rehabilitation or Exercise Therapy is a method of rehabilitation that involves one-on-one training with a physiotherapist or kinesiologist with the goal of increasing strength and flexibility and functionality. The rehabilitative exercises are tailored to you and focus on improving self-sufficiency and client independence. Guided by a thorough initial injury assessment, the therapist will develop a personal exercise program for your condition with these elements:
- Static and dynamic range of motion exercises incorporating muscle energy techniques with the goal of increasing flexibility
- Postural education and training via muscle-imbalance correction and ergonomic recommendations
- Core stability training
- General strength and conditioning
- Sensorimotor training
- Cardiovascular training
- Pain management strategies
- Relaxation techniques
The goal of the Active Rehabilitation Program is to bring you to your highest reasonable level of self-sufficiency and independence.
