At our office, we know that to gain the function and health you’re looking for, you need to understand how to support your body. To achieve this, we implement invaluable therapeutic exercises designed for your individual needs, injury, ability, and goals.
We know that strength is a cornerstone of vitality, enabling you to live life fully and confidently. With a prescribed and intentional therapeutic exercise plan, you can take control of your health by maximizing comfort, healing imbalances, re-educating the body, and increasing muscle mass and flexibility in the areas that need it most.
Let us define a targeted therapeutic exercise strategy that gets you the results you need to thrive.
What is Therapeutic Exercise, & How is It Different from Regular Exercise?
Exercise generally refers to physical activity performed to maintain overall health and fitness and is commonly self-directed.
In contrast, therapeutic exercise is a specialized program of movements tailored to address specific physical impairments or injuries. Prescribed by healthcare professionals, therapeutic exercises aim to restore function, alleviate pain, and improve areas of concern that limit mobility, strength, and balance.
While exercise supports general wellness, therapeutic exercise focuses on rehabilitation. Patients are provided with detailed and defined exercises based on their needs. For example, jogging is a typical exercise for those looking to improve cardiovascular health, while adhering to targeted knee exercises to promote strength and range of motion after a knee injury will help a patient regain proper knee function.
Therapeutic exercises are essential to the rehabilitation programs we offer in our Anaheim chiropractic clinic. This safe, strengthening approach has been shown to effectively heal various injuries and allow our patients to find the comfort and function they’re looking for.

What Will Therapeutic Exercise Help With?
When you get a therapeutic exercise plan, the intention is to help the body heal while allowing it to continue working. Many healthcare methods rely on downtime, and while, in some cases, downtime is necessary, too much of it often further burdens and harms the body. This can create more pain and imbalance.
While healing your injury is vital, rehabilitating the body after an injury is also essential to your health and overall well-being. Under our care and guidance, we’ll generate the optimal exercise plan that supports safe movement.
Therapeutic exercise can help with:
- Restoring movement and function
- Improving strength, flexibility, movement patterns, range of motion, and mobility
- Improving gait, balance, and coordination
- Preventing and promoting health, wellness, and fitness
- Improving comfort
- Improving circulation
- Improving respiratory capacity
- Reducing rigidity and stiffness
- Improving muscle performance
- Promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality
- Reducing inflammation
- Improving posture
- Reducing the risk of falling
