Therapeutic Exercises

Initial assessment

Susie, a 45-year-old teacher, came to our clinic experiencing chronic lower back pain and knee discomfort due to prolonged standing and improper posture. Her pain limited her ability to move freely in the classroom, and she often felt fatigued by the end of the day.

After a comprehensive evaluation, we determined that a structured therapeutic exercise program would be the most effective solution to strengthen her muscles, improve posture, and alleviate pain.

Techniques and approaches

We implemented an eight-week therapeutic exercise program tailored to Susie’s specific needs. The treatment plan focused on improving flexibility, core stability, and muscle strength to support her lower back and knees. Sessions were conducted three times a week, with progressive exercises designed to enhance her overall movement and endurance.

• Developed a customized stretching and strengthening routine for lower back and knees
• Focused on core stabilization exercises to reduce strain on the lower back
• Introduced resistance band training for controlled muscle strengthening
• Incorporated balance and posture correction exercises to improve stability
• Monitored progress and adjusted exercise intensity as needed

Progress and outcomes

After three weeks, Susie reported increased flexibility and a reduction in daily discomfort. By week six, she experienced improved posture and greater endurance throughout the workday. At the conclusion of the eight-week program, her pain levels had decreased by 80%, and she regained confidence in her movement. Follow-up assessments showed enhanced muscle strength and joint stability, confirming the long-term benefits of therapeutic exercises.
