Therapeutic Exercise
At your first appointment, your Physical Therapist will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized rehabilitation treatment program with you that may include Therapeutic Exercise.
What is Therapeutic Exercise?
Therapeutic exercise is the systematic, planned performance of bodily movements, postures, or physical activities intended to remediate or prevent impairments, reduce risk factors, and optimize overall health and fitness.
Benefits of Therapeutic Exercise:
Therapeutic exercise is used in physical therapy to prevent disability, to minimize the progression of factors which result in disabilities, and to provide rehabilitation from pathological processes which result in loss of function and participation in the community.
What Is the First Step?
Start By Scheduling an Evaluation Appointment.
Don't Wait - Get Started Right Now!
Clinical research shows that the sooner you get started with active rehabilitation, the less likely you will need unnecessary tests, medications, or surgery.
At your evaluation appointment, you will meet with a physical therapist who will perform a thorough evaluation that includes:
- A review of your health history and your specific symptoms.
- A thorough examination that includes assessing the quality and quantity of your movements, and any factors that might put you at risk for delayed recovery or might indicate a serious health problem.
- Assessment of how you use your body at work, at home, during sports, and at leisure.
- Determination of the diagnosis and impairments that are causing your pain and establishment of a treatment plan of care.

What Our Clients Say
Christine at Southeastern Physical Therapy was great to work with. I had TMJ problems– my mouth locked up, then wouldn’t open very wide. Christine listened to my concerns and was excellent as far as Covid precautions. She gave me exercises and stretches to do at home, which I did. She also used a tool on the problem area to massage along my face—this also helped tremendously. I like how well she communicated and the way she answered my questions. Also really helpful were the printouts with steps on exercises or stretches we had gone over. I would get home and not be sure how she’d had me do something, but the printouts reminded me. One time when I emailed with a question, she responded, then also called to make certain my question was fully answered and I understood. I highly recommend Christine at Southeastern Physical Therapy.
