What is medical fitness?
What exactly is medical fitness? Medical fitness is a form of fitness supervised by a physical therapist. The physio guides you to exercise responsibly. In many cases it is about recovering from an injury or rehabilitation from an accident or surgery. The physical therapist then looks at the problem with you and applies some rehabilitation techniques to it and gives you exercises to work on. This is all about repairing the body. You can think of workouts such as fitness training, strength training, increasing mobility and improving coordination.
Why exercise under the guidance of a physical therapist?
Perhaps you have just had an accident that you need to recover from, or you have suffered an injury while playing sports. Then of course you want to get rid of it as soon as possible and be able to move and play sports safely again. Sports under the guidance of a physical therapist can help you with this. The emphasis in medical fitness is on responsible training and performing exercises to improve an injury or health problems.
Who is medical fitness suitable for
Medical fitness is often used by people who are experiencing physical complaints. This may be because you have suffered an injury or need to rehabilitate after surgery or an accident. But this need not always be the case. Medical fitness is not only suitable for people with injuries and physical complaints, but also for anyone who wants to exercise in a safe and responsible way under medical supervision.
Medical fitness is especially suitable for people with, for example, the following complaints:
- In case of an injury or when you want to prevent injuries
- With chronic conditions such as heart problems, COPD or diabetes
- When you suffer from stiffness and fatigue
- After surgery on your hip, shoulder or knee and recovering from this
- Having had an accident when you need to recover from a broken bone or muscle tear, for example
- In neurological disorders
- When you still want to keep moving in a safe way
- When you generally experience physical symptoms.
What is the purpose of medical fitness
The goal of medical fitness is to increase both muscle fitness and load capacity through training. This may involve focusing on your entire body but can also focus on an area of complaint. It also involves improving flexibility and coordination.
Some consequences of medical fitness may be:
- Reduction and prevention of injuries
- Recovery from accident or surgery
- Overall improvement in fitness and strength
- Feeling fitter
- Reduction in physical complaints such as back pain, hip pain, knee pain or shoulder pain
- Less stress
