Muscle Strengthening
Strong muscles are essential to control the balance of your joints and how they move efficiently.
In addition to strength, which can involve power, endurance and speed of contraction, the timing of a muscle contraction is very important.
Your muscles have different roles to play. Muscles are predominately fast twitch, slow twitch or endurance-based stabilisation muscles. Their roles all differ so they should be exercised the depending upon their specific characteristics.
Each exercise and the speed it is performed will strengthen different muscles in different ways. If you are unsure which exercises best facilitates the muscle groups you are trying to target, please contact your physiotherapist.
Core stability retraining is a vital component of optimising your strength program with reduced chance of injury and improved performance. If you are not performing core stability exercises, you should be!
Rest assured that your physiotherapist is an expert in the assessment and correction of muscle strength deficits, timing and individually prescribed exercises appropriate for your rehabilitation.
It is important to remember that individual injuries, your stage of rehabilitation, age, gender and your sport or level of activity will dictate the best exercises suitable for you. Seeking professional advice is highly recommended.
