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
Went to the Waynesville location after knee surgery. Julie is a phenomenal physical therapist. I appreciate all the time she took with me, starting from the initial exam. I went from a bending range of 67 degrees to 130 degrees in 9 weeks, 15 visits . Of course, I was a good patient, and did do my exercises at home. While some of the exercises did get boring after a while, having Julie measure my progress every week made it all worth while. I appreciate the personal attention I was given, even while there were other patients there. Christina, Physical Therapy Assistant, was great also. Both were very friendly, made the visits pleasant, we had some great chats. Kelly, at the front desk, always greeted everyone cheerfully! I would highly recommend working with Julie! Christine is amazing! She takes the time to get to the root of the problem and sets up a clear plan for therapy both in the office and at home. Her staff is also extremely personable and friendly making office visits pleasant! I would not go anywhere else for physical therapy!
