Remedial exercise

Remedial exercise involves methods and means to improve the quality of life not only for patients with health problems but also for healthy people. It can be successfully implemented to enhance health, beauty and prevention but generally aims to improve patients’ health. Remedial exercise focuses not only on the specific health issue at hand but also helps with possible complications, functional deficits, accompanying pathology and risk factors.

Remedial exercise has proven merits and is successfully implemented on patients with:

1. Locomotor disorders and rehabilitation in cases of:

• Orthopedic disorders such as scoliosis
• Certain types of trauma such as sprains, joint dislocations, fractures
• Rheumatic diseases: periarthritis, Bekhterev's disease, osteoporosis

2. Peripheral nervous system disorders:

• Radiculitis
• Spinal disc herniation
• Sciatica (pain along the path of the sciatic nerve)
• Facial nerve paralysis

3. Stasis in the extremities accompanied by swelling is caused by lymphatic stasis. This occurs as a result of inflammation or injuries, for example full or partial lymph node removal in the case of cancer.
