Purpose
Due
to the physical demands of our jobs, sports and daily activities in
general, we can all benefit from some corrective work to create balance
in the body.
The purpose of rehabilitation is to restore some or all of the patient's physical, sensory, and mental capabilities that were lost due to injury, illness, or disease. Rehabilitation includes assisting the patient to compensate for deficits that cannot be reversed medically and is prescribed after many types of injury (as detailed above).
Corrective Exercise is most important for getting back to function following pain or injury and in preventing further problems. Using carefully designed individual-specific exercise programs, the aim is to identify, correct and enhance the patients condition.
