What Is Therapeutic Exercise?

Therapeutic exercise is a cornerstone of physiotherapy. It involves structured, goal-oriented movement designed to reduce pain, restore strength, improve balance, and promote long-term health. At Cogent Rehab in Burlington, our physiotherapists develop personalized exercise programs tailored to your unique needs, whether you are recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking to prevent future issues.

How Does Therapeutic Exercise Work?

Therapeutic exercise works by using specific, targeted movements to restore normal body function and support long-term health. At Cogent Rehab in Burlington, our physiotherapists design customized exercise programs that may focus on:

  • Improving strength to support daily activities

  • Increasing flexibility to reduce stiffness and pain

  • Building endurance for better energy and mobility

  • Enhancing posture and balance to prevent falls and injuries
