What Is Resistance Exercise Therapy and Stretching?

Resistance exercise therapy is a specific treatment program that is designed to strengthen muscles that can help you prevent injuries in the future. When you use your muscles against resistance, you strengthen those fibers, making them stronger. We can use resistance exercise therapy to strengthen muscles that you might not use very much. Then, with that added support, you can reduce your chances of suffering an injury in the future while also increasing your mobility and flexibility.

Speaking of increasing your flexibility, stretching can do exactly that. There are different types of stretches that we can use to increase the flexibility of certain parts of your body. There are some types of stretches which are called dynamic stretches. You can use those to not only boost your flexibility but also warm up your muscles prior to a workout. Then, there are static stretches which you can use to eliminate lactic acid from your muscles after you are done with your workout routine. It would be our pleasure to show you different forms of resistance exercises and stretches that can help you with the recovery process.

What Injuries Can This Treatment Address?

There are several different types of injuries that this treatment option addresses. A few examples include:

• Shoulder Injuries: If you have suffered a shoulder injury, you can use resistance exercises to strengthen muscles of the rotator cuff and protect this joint.
• Elbow Injuries: If you have sustained an elbow injury, such as a UCL injury, stretching and resistance exercises can help you.
• Hip Injuries: Stretching and resistance exercises can play a major role in helping you recover from a hip injury.
• Knee Injuries: If you have suffered damage to your knee ligaments or meniscus, these treatment options can help you increase your strength and flexibility.
• Ankle Injuries: If you have suffered an ankle sprain, this treatment option can help you.

Resistance exercise therapy and stretching can help you not only recover from a current injury but also prevent a future one from taking place.
