Exercise Therapy
Exercise therapy
Exercise therapy is the production of muscle contractions and movements of the body, in order to improve the functioning of a person so that he or she can (continue to) carry out his or her daily activities. Walking, sitting, bending, lifting. We move all day long and usually unconsciously. Everyone has their own posture and way of moving, but some habits are not good for the body. Incorrect posture can cause complaints in the back, neck or shoulder, for example. People can also develop problems with their musculoskeletal system due to certain abnormalities or diseases, such as rheumatism or asthma.

Complaints for exercise therapy
Exercise therapy is a good treatment method if you suffer from one or more of the following complaints:
• Back and neck complaints
• Joint pain (pelvis, knee-ankle-foot, arm-shoulder-wrist)
• Chronic disorders of the posture and musculoskeletal system
• Postural abnormalities
• Headache
• Tension and incontinence
The purpose of exercise therapy
The aim of exercise therapy is to make the complaints disappear, reduce and/or prevent them, based on your own movement options. Your daily activities and the situation you are in are also taken into account.
Benefits of exercise therapy
Exercise therapy has several advantages. Exercise therapy makes you more aware of everyday movements, but complaints can also be significantly reduced by improving your movement options. During your treatments you will also receive advice on how to prevent your complaints in the future.
Our exercise therapists are specialists in teaching healthy exercise behavior. The exercise therapist works with you to look at your lifestyle, your posture and your way of moving. What happens when you sit, walk or make other movements? Which muscles and joints have to bear the brunt? This involves not only looking at the complaint, but at your entire body.
