Movement and exercise

We assist the patient in the movement restoration and some tasks which includes the following:

  • Muscle strength evaluation and quantification.

  • Physiotherapy exercises to maintain and increase joint range of motion.

  • Evaluate and train sitting and standing balance.

  • Physical therapy exercises to increase strength,endurance and coordination for other specific muscle groups or the entire body.

  • Use various physical therapy modalities such as both superficial and deep heat and cold as well as hydrotherapy techniques, electrical stimulation, traction and massage for pain relief.

  • Aid in home evaluation to make the environment barrier free and accessible.

  • Assess the patient's wheelchair needs, including maintenance and assist with individualized wheelchair prescriptions.

  • Progressive gait training with or without ambulatory aids.

  • Exercises to reduce spasticity.

We usually recommend movement and exercise to help improve your mobility and function. This may include:

  • Exercises designed to improve movement and strength in a specific part of the body – these usually need to be repeated regularly for a set length of time

  • Activities that involve moving your whole body, such as walkingor swimming – these can help if you're recovering from an operation or injury that affects your mobility

  • Exercises carried out in warm, shallow water (hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy) – the water can help relax and support the muscles and joints, while providing resistance to help you gradually strengthen

  • Advice and exercises to help you increase or maintain your physical activity – advice will be given on the importance of keeping active, and how to do this in a safe, effective way

  • Providing mobility aids – such as crutches or a walking stick to help you move around
