Unlocking the Benefits: How Exercise Therapy Can Transform Your Health

Exercise therapy assists patients in recovering from diseases and conditions that interfere with their movement and well-being and treat injuries or conditions through physical activity.

The main difference between exercise and physical therapy is that physical therapy focuses on restoring movement. In contrast, exercise therapy aims to relieve symptoms like pain during physical practice—both work towards improving physical well-being.

Exercise therapy for mental health involves a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises, as they are the most effective in improving mental health.

Exercise is an effective therapy for treating mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, and can be more effective than medication and counseling. Studies have shown that working out releases feel-good endorphins and can increase the brain's supply of neurotransmitters, improving mood and decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Exercise therapy can help manage chronic pain by reducing pain severity, improving joint flexibility, strengthening muscles, and enhancing endurance. It plays a significant role in overall pain management.
