What are Strengthening Exercises?
Strengthening exercises are exercises which are designed to increase the strength of specific or groups of muscles. Strengthening exercises overload the muscle until the point of muscle fatigue. This force and overload of a muscle encourages the growth, increasing the strength. Weak muscles can increase the risk of injury to the surrounding joints and soft tissues.
Strengthening exercises will include a variety of exercises designed to target specific groups or individual muscles. These exercises will begin easier and progress as strength is developed. Some of the exercises may involve the following:
- Exercising against gravity
- Exercising against the resistance of water
- Exercising against a resistance band
- Exercising with weight
- Enhances physical performance
- Exercising using your own body weight as the load

What Our Clients Say
Got me back to participating 100%. I came to see Dr. Patt after suffering from hip and back pain that was impacting my day-to-day activities. Dr. Patt and the clinicians were supportive and encouraging throughout my recovery process and got me back to participating 100%. It’s wonderful to get back to doing activities pain-free again. I can’t thank them enough for the care they provided. The laser treatments also helped my neck immensely and I recommend them as well! This was my first time doing physical therapy ever. I hurt my neck on Dec.31 and put it off for weeks. When I finally made the appointment, I had my doubts that it would help but boy, I was wrong! After meeting Dr. Jill and having a great care team established, my neck kept getting better and better! Each clinician has their own style and strengths and they all complement each other to make the perfect team! The front desk staff is fantastic! The laser treatments also helped my neck immensely and I recommend them as well! I can’t recommend Professional PT enough thank you.
