How Does Exercise Work Into My Care Plan?

Exercise forms the cornerstone of the methodology employed at Proactive Performance Therapy. Manual therapy acts as the catalyst to unlock the essential movements required for corrective therapeutic exercises. These exercises, in turn, serve as the key to restoring your capacity to perform at your desired levels.

During the initial phases of an injury, exercises will target the specific structures affected. As time progresses and the injury becomes chronic, the focus shifts towards broader, multi-joint exercises that engage multiple joints and diverse movement patterns. Effective healing of damaged tissue necessitates the application of load, facilitating optimal regeneration. Without this load, healing often stagnates, leading to compensatory movements.

The way I work is based on a simple but powerful principle: gradually increasing the intensity of exercises to help you heal properly and prevent compensations. This method ensures that as you recover, your rehabilitation journey is effective, leading to improved performance in the long run. It's like taking small steps forward, allowing your body to heal without creating new problems along the way. This careful approach paves the way for a successful recovery and renewed strength.
