What is Active Rehabilitation?
Active rehabilitation (active rehab) is a customized rehabilitation program designed to help individuals recover from injuries, surgery, or improve physical performance. Unlike passive treatments, which may focus on rest and recovery, active rehab actively engages your body through structured exercises to restore movement, strength, and function.
Our team of physiotherapists and kinesiologists work with you to create an exercise plan that targets your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with pain from a sports injury, recovering from surgery, or simply looking to improve your fitness, active rehab can help you recover faster and more effectively.
Why Choose Active Rehabilitation?
Active rehabilitation can benefit a wide range of people, whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or just want to improve your health. Here are some of the most common reasons to consider active rehabilitation:
1. Recovering from Injuries
Whether you’ve experienced a sports injury, a fall, or an accident, active rehabilitation helps you recover more effectively. Targeted exercises restore strength, mobility, and stability to the injured area, allowing you to return to your daily activities or sports.
2. Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
If you’ve recently had surgery, active rehab plays a crucial role in post-surgery recovery. From joint replacements to ligament repairs, the rehabilitation program will help you regain strength, improve range of motion, and reduce the risk of complications.
3. Chronic Pain Management
For individuals dealing with chronic pain such as back pain, joint pain, or arthritis, active rehab can be an excellent option. By focusing on strengthening surrounding muscles, improving flexibility, and correcting movement patterns, we help reduce pain and improve function.
4. Improving Physical Fitness
If you’re looking to boost your overall physical health, active rehabilitation can help you improve strength, flexibility, and endurance. It’s a great way to reach your fitness goals safely and effectively, with a customized program tailored to your needs.
5. Preventing Future Injuries
Active rehab not only helps you recover from injuries, but it also focuses on injury prevention. By improving muscle strength, balance, and posture, you can reduce the risk of future injuries, allowing you to move confidently through everyday life.
6. Rehabilitation for Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, or tendonitis can benefit greatly from active rehabilitation. Active rehab helps restore strength, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility, promoting faster healing and preventing reinjury.
