Exercise modifications for injuries or limitations often include adapted movements, which allow individuals to engage in physical activity without exacerbating their condition. For instance, replacing high-impact exercises with low-impact alternatives—like using an elliptical machine instead of running—can minimize strain on joints. Physical therapists can prescribe specific exercises to strengthen affected areas while considering comfort levels. Additionally, using proper form and equipment modifications, such as resistance bands, can facilitate recovery. Consulting with a health professional ensures modifications are safe and effective.
