Exercise Therapy

Stretching works by gently lengthening the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the joints, allowing for smoother and more efficient body movements. There are several types of stretching techniques - such as static, dynamic, passive and Ballistic Stretching - each designed for specific therapeutic goals. In physiotherapy, stretching is not just about flexibility - it’s about restoring functional movement. Whether used as a part of warm-up, cool-down, or targeted rehabilitation, stretching helps patients move more freely, perform better in daily activities and maintain overall musculoskeletal health. 

Isometric Training is a form of exercise that focuses on improving muscle strength and stability without visible joint movement. Isometric exercises involve holding a static position and generating tension in the muscles against resistance. This technique is especially useful for patients recovering from injury, surgery, or conditions where joint movement may be limited or painful. By contracting muscles without moving the affected joint, isometric training helps maintain and gradually restore muscle strength while minimizing strain or discomfort. 

Progressive Resisted Training is a structured exercise method designed to build muscle strength, endurance, and function by gradually increasing resistance as the body adapts. It’s a cornerstone of modern rehabilitation and fitness programs, helping patients regain mobility and physical capacity safely after injury, surgery, or illness. Resistance can be applied in various forms such as weights, resistance bands, machines, or body weight, depending on the patient’s condition and stage of recovery. In physiotherapy, the program is carefully planned and monitored to ensure correct technique, gradual load progression, and prevention of overstrain. 

Sports-Specific Training is a specialized physiotherapy and rehabilitation program designed to prepare athletes and active individuals for the physical demands of their particular sport. Unlike general fitness routines, this approach focuses on targeted strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination, and skill-based exercises that mimic actual sports movements. The goal is to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and promote safe return to play after recovery. Every sport involves unique movement patterns and physical requirements. For example, a sprinter needs explosive leg power, while a swimmer requires shoulder stability and endurance. Sports-specific training begins with a detailed assessment of the athlete’s biomechanics, muscle balance, and movement efficiency, followed by a tailored exercise plan addressing sport-related demands. 

Functional Re-education is a specialized physiotherapy approach aimed at restoring normal movement patterns, strength and coordination required for everyday activities. The goal of this therapy is not just to treat pain or weakness, but to help patients regain the ability to perform functional movements - such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, lifting or returning to work and sports—with comfort and confidence. After an injury, surgery or prolonged immobilization, the body often compensates with faulty movement patterns. These compensations may reduce efficiency, increase strain on joints and cause recurring pain. Functional re-education focuses on retraining the body to move correctly by improving muscle control, balance, posture and joint alignment. 

Balance and Coordination Training is an essential part of physiotherapy that focuses on improving the body’s ability to maintain stability, control movements, and perform activities safely and efficiently. Good balance and coordination are key to preventing falls, enhancing athletic performance, and restoring independence after injury, surgery, or neurological conditions. This training helps the body’s sensory systems — including the visual, vestibular (inner ear), and proprioceptive (joint position sense) systems - work together to keep you upright and steady during movement. It also supports athletes in improving agility, reaction time, and body control during dynamic sports movements.
