Exercise Therapy is a regimen or plan of physical activities designed and prescribed for specific therapeutic goals. Its purpose is to work towards the restoration of normal musculoskeletal function or to reduce pain above and below the site of injury caused by diseases or injuries through neuro re-education, gait training and therapeutic activities. It is highly repetitive and intensive in nature, requiring time and dedication on the part of the client to encourage neuroplasticity. At AussieCare, we believe that exercise therapy has been a vital and long-standing prescribed therapy for decades and is practised all over the world. Exercise therapy is based on the principles of exercise science, and when adapted to the neurologically impaired client, its focus is on the recovery of the function above and below the site of injury.
AussieCare’s Exercise Therapists will assist clients who participate in an exercise therapy program to benefit from an increased motor or sensory function, increased independence, reduction of medication, reduction of hospital visits, and increased overall health. Exercise can fill the gap for people who can’t receive traditional therapies because of cost or lack of access, or who don’t want to because of the perceived social stigma associated with these treatments.
