Joint mobilisations or manual therapy:

This is a part of passive treatment performed by a certified manual therapist which helps in bringing the full joint range of motion. It is a  bone to bone movement which is present during any joint movement.

Active assisted exercises:

These exercises are done with the assistance of a therapist or other arm or machines. This is done when muscles are weak, inhibited after an injury  but need to be actively contracted  to do the movement. Stretching exercises using physiotherapeutic equipment are also done to stretch the tight/stiff muscles.

Active exercises:

These exercises are done against gravity or resistance provided by a theraband/weight cuffs/dumbbells.

Non weight bearing exercises:

These exercises are performed without the load of body weight on the affected joints/muscles. This helps in gradually loading the affected muscles/ joints without causing pain and inflammation to return.

Partial weight bearing exercises:

Once muscles are strengthened to take at least 50% of body weight, partial weight bearing exercises are started. These exercises help in loading muscles and joints using our body weight as a resistance gradually.

Weight bearing exercises:

These exercises involve our body weight as a load to the muscles/joints, such as sit to stand, squats, bird-dog, push-ups.

Functional exercises:

Based on individual needs, these exercises are customised to reach a movement specific goal. For e.g., someone with a knee pain may have difficulty to sit and stand or sit and stand up from floor. For such specific situations,  we train and plan a routine where in you are able to perform such specific movements pain free.
