The 101 On Active Rehabilitation

Are you suffering from a nagging injury that is taking too long to heal? Is it preventing you from doing the things you love? If so, active rehabilitation may be for you.

The human body has a remarkable ability to heal and recover. In most instances, regardless of your injury, the body will find a way to recuperate. However, this process can often be painstakingly long.

Active rehabilitation leverages your body's natural healing mechanisms to help you recover quicker. Here, the health professionals at Mimico Physiotherapy break down everything you need to know about active rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation can be either active or passive. Passive recovery entails doing as little as possible and letting the body heal independently. Although this can work, it is not the ideal approach.

On the other hand, active rehabilitation puts you in control of your recovery. In other words, you play a conscious role in speeding up your recovery.

The focus of most active rehabilitation programs is a graded exercise regimen. These workouts can include mobility, stability, strength, and endurance-type movement patterns. In addition, mental exercises, nutrition, and rest are also vital components of an effective active rehab program.

The main goal of active rehabilitation is to help you stay active. Therefore, it not only enables you to recover from injuries but also helps prevent them in the first place. On top of that, it is entirely safe. So if you are suffering from an acute injury or your problem is more chronic, active rehabilitation can work for you.

Further, because active rehab is a type of physiotherapy for injuries , kinesiologists tailor the program to your specific condition. Thus, you can get started immediately. Studies show that the sooner you can begin, the quicker and better your recovery.
