Physical therapists at Coastal Home Rehab also suggest exercises to strengthen your supporting muscles. If your muscles are weak, your joints would come under excessive stress.
In addition, we also recommend exercises to improve your mind-muscle coordination, as well as coordination between different parts of the body. The therapist might also use aids to support your muscles and joints till they are stronger.
