Functional Rehabilitation

Functional rehabilitation refers to a therapeutic approach aimed at improving a person’s ability to perform daily activities and movements effectively and safely. It is often used in physical therapy, sports medicine, and other rehabilitation settings to restore and enhance functional abilities that may have been impaired due to injury, illness, or other health conditions.

Key aspects of functional rehabilitation include:

Individualized Treatment: Tailored programs designed to address specific functional deficits based on an individual’s needs and goals.

Functional Assessment: Evaluation of an individual’s movement patterns, strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination to identify areas needing improvement.

Exercise and Movement Therapy: Utilization of exercises, movements, and activities that mimic or directly relate to the tasks and activities a person needs or wants to perform.

Progressive Training: Gradual progression of exercises and activities to improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and overall functional capacity over time.

Manual Therapy and Myofascial body work: Treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.
