Long description

Strengthening Exercises focus on building muscle mass and enhancing the ability to perform daily tasks with ease. These exercises are often progressive, starting with low resistance and gradually increasing as strength improves.
Therapeutic activities typically include:
• Resistance Training: Using weights, resistance bands, or body weight to target specific muscle groups.
• Isometric Exercises: Holding a position to engage muscles without movement, beneficial for joint stability.
• Functional Strengthening: Incorporating strength exercises into everyday tasks, such as lifting or carrying objects.
