What is Exercise Rehabilitation and Who Is It For?
Feeling better doesn't always mean feeling ready to get back to everything you were doing before.
After an injury or time away from activity, you might feel okay in everyday life but still hesitate when it comes to training, sport or certain movements.
So how do you bridge that gap?
That's where exercise rehabilitation can come in.
What is exercise rehabilitation?
Exercise rehabilitation uses movement and exercise as part of a structured approach to rebuilding physical capacity. But it isn't simply about being handed a list of exercises. It starts with understanding where you are now, what you're finding difficult and what you're hoping to get back to.
At Retrain Health, this can involve looking at things such as your movement, strength and current activity levels before working out an approach that suits your individual needs.
When might someone consider exercise rehabilitation?
There isn’t one type of person who needs exercise rehabilitation.
There’s no single reason someone might consider exercise rehabilitation. You may be returning to activity following an injury, rebuilding strength after time away from movement, or finding that you’re not quite ready to return to your usual sport, training or everyday activities.
The starting point will look different for everyone. What matters is that the exercises are appropriate for where you are now and can be adjusted as things change.
What does an exercise rehabilitation program look like?
A rehabilitation program can include exercises aimed at areas such as strength, mobility, balance or movement control, depending on your assessment and goals.
Your program won't necessarily stay the same either. As your capacity changes, exercises may be progressed, modified or replaced to reflect where you're at.
That’s one of the reasons rehabilitation is more than simply finding a few exercises online. The exercises need to make sense for the person doing them.
