    Exercise therapy

    Exercise therapy is a special form of physiotherapy that specifically aims to build up and strengthen the musculoskeletal system. It is often used for orthopaedic complaints such as bone fractures, tendonitis, sprains, bursitis, muscle weakness, joint pain, sciatica and movement disorders. Through individually tailored exercises, training therapy helps to alleviate pain, improve mobility and strengthen the muscles. The aim is to correct underlying physical weaknesses and imbalances in order to promote long-term recovery and prevent relapses.

    Advantages of training therapy

    Exercise therapy has proven to be effective not only in the rehabilitation of existing injuries, but also in the prevention of future injuries. When used correctly, it can increase the functionality of the musculoskeletal system and reduce pain associated with orthopaedic conditions in the long term. Studies show that exercise therapy is often recommended as the preferred method for improving quality of movement. For some patients, exercise therapy can bring about positive changes in the first few sessions, while most experience gradual improvement over the course of several sessions. Here are some of the main benefits of exercise therapy:

    • Reduction of stress on affected joints by correcting posture and movement mechanics
    • Restoration of mobility through targeted training and the reduction of muscular tension
    • Improving coordination and balance through specific motor control exercises
    • Acceleration of healing through increased blood circulation and strengthening of the muscle tissue
    • Increase muscle strength by training functional movement patterns
    • Improving stability and reducing stress on joints and nerve structures
    • Long-term relief of myofascial tension and trigger points that can be associated with chronic overuse syndromes.

    Frequently asked questions about training therapy

    Mild discomfort or temporary muscle soreness may occasionally occur during training therapy, especially during exercises that have an intensive effect on certain muscle groups. It is important to report any pain sensations to the therapist during training so that the intensity or exercise can be adjusted accordingly.

    The frequency of training therapy sessions varies depending on the type and severity of the symptoms, the progress of the recovery and the personal training goals. Your therapist will draw up an individual training plan and determine the number of sessions required to support optimal regeneration and improved performance.

    The duration of a training therapy session depends on the need for treatment and the planned exercises, but usually lasts 45 to 60 minutes.

    As a rule, you can continue your everyday life as usual after a training therapy session. However, it may be advisable to avoid intense physical exertion immediately after training to allow the body to recover sufficiently. Your therapist will make specific recommendations for adapting your activities.

    The improvement in symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the symptoms, the individual healing process and the response to the therapy. Some patients feel an improvement after just a few sessions, while others experience a gradual improvement over a longer period of time. The therapist will check progress regularly and adjust the training plan if necessary.
