These exercises are usually directed to tackling lack of strength, loss of mobility, problems in balance or coordination resulting from a specific injury.They also address specific functional needs for the patient.

These can be active, active-assisted or passive exercises such as:

• Treadmill exercise

• Lumbar stabilization

• Stretching exercises

• Strengthening exercises

These exercises are aimed to improving factors of strength and range of motion and  can include the use of:

• Free weights

• Exercise machines

At our Astoria clinic location, we also have aquatic therapy. Water is a safe and effective medium to exercise specific muscle groups and joints with substantially less compressive forces making movement easier and less painful. The therapeutic, non-weight-bearing properties of water and its natural resistance create an ideal environment for post-operative, back , knee and hip rehabilitation.
