Strengthening exercises are a core part of physiotherapy, especially to increase the strength of a specific muscle or group of muscles. They help to improve muscle power and endurance, helping patients regain function and reduce pain.
Therapeutic exercise involves prescribed movement designed to correct impairments, restore musculoskeletal function, and maintain a state of well-being.
It is the systematic use of resistance-based exercises to increase muscle force output, support joint function, and restore physical performance. It is applied in rehabilitation, injury prevention and long term health maintenance.
