What It Is

The part that makes it stick.

Every printout of exercises you’ve been handed had the same two problems. Nobody watched you do them, and nobody changed them when you got stronger.

Therapeutic Exercise here is prescribed from your cause-first evaluation and coached one-on-one by a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Which movement, how much load, how many, how often, and exactly when it goes up.

It’s the thread that runs through all four phases: Pain, Prime, Perform, Prevent. Tissue that gets loaded correctly gets stronger, and stronger tissue is what stops the pain from coming back the next time life gets heavy.

What It Helps

Where loading changes things.

If it feels better on the table and worse again by Thursday, this is the piece that’s missing.

Questions, Answered

Therapeutic exercise, no mystery.

Yes, at the right dose, and picking that dose is the job. Painful tissue still needs load, it just needs less of it than you think and more precision than a video can give you. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy sets the amount, watches every rep, and adjusts on the spot if your body says otherwise.

You could find the movements. What you can’t find is which ones are right for your cause, how heavy, how many, and when to move up. That’s the prescription, and it comes out of your evaluation. Most people who tried it alone weren’t doing the wrong exercise, they were doing the right one at the wrong dose.

A small one, and we keep it small on purpose. You’re the person everyone else leans on, so a program that eats your evening is a program you won’t do. We pick the few movements that carry the most weight, coach them in the clinic first, and you leave knowing exactly why each one is on the list.
