What Is Active Rehabilitation and Who Does It Benefit?
Active rehabilitation is a series of targeted exercises designed by a kinesiologist to restore mobility and correct the body’s mechanical function. It is effective for treating soft tissue strains and sprains, managing post-concussion symptoms, and addressing a variety of conditions such as back pain, neck pain, balance issues, shoulder dysfunction, ankle discomfort, knee pain, and more.
Benefits of Active Rehabilitation
- Treats injuries safely and effectively
- Works for both chronic and acute conditions
- Complements physiotherapy and massage therapy to enhance natural recovery
- Improves body balance
- Increases blood flow throughout the body
- Supports faster recovery after surgery
- Promotes both inner and outer healing
Active Rehabilitation vs. Other Treatments
The key difference is that active rehabilitation requires active participation from the patient, whereas most other treatments—such as physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and massage—are considered passive. Active rehabilitation engages you in the healing process, making it a proactive treatment option.
Who Provides Active Rehabilitation?
Active rehabilitation programs are designed and overseen by kinesiologists, experts in human movement mechanics. Their specialized knowledge allows them to effectively treat back pain, neck discomfort, knee pain, shoulder dysfunction, and post-concussion issues, among others.
