Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise is movement prescribed by your physical therapist to recover from limitations that come from nerve, muscle or joint problems. The primary goal of physical therapy is usually to recover mobility, strength, flexibility and everyday activities, and at PAR Physical Therapy in Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, exercise is a main part of how we get you there.

An exercise plan built from your assessment
We provide different types of therapeutic exercise based on a detailed assessment of your condition and your rehab goals. Physical therapists are movement experts at progressing an exercise program for a given condition and where you are in the recovery process.
Therapeutic exercise is often an important part of a comprehensive plan. The key is customizing it to your needs.
Three dials your therapist turns
By varying these, your treatment goals can be met in an optimal timeframe.
Frequency
How often you do each exercise.
Intensity
How hard the effort is.
Resistance
How much load you work against.
Types of exercise you may be given
Progressive resistive exercise
Exercises that gradually increase in resistance and repetitions, usually prescribed to re-educate and strengthen muscles. Weights, rubber bands and body weight can all be used.
Passive range of motion
You or the therapist move a body part through its range of motion without the muscles that actively move the joint.
Stretching and flexibility
Exercise designed to lengthen muscle or soft tissue that has tightened from disuse, pain, spasm or immobilization.
Taking it home
Your exercises go home with you through a digital home exercise program, and strength and conditioning picks up where basic recovery leaves off. You do not need a physician’s referral to be evaluated by a physical therapist in South Carolina. PAR accepts most insurance plans, and we make every effort to verify your benefits before your first visit.
