INTRODUCTION TO COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION
“Rehab” is an abbreviation for the word rehabilitation. It is the term used to describe the process of working to return to a normal level of function following an illness, injury, developmental delay, or other event that has altered one's ability to function at full capacity.
INTRODUCTION TO FUNCTIONAL TRAINING
Functional training is a classification of that type of exercise which trains the body for the activities performed in daily life. Functional training may lead to better muscular balance and joint stability, possibly reducing the number of injuries sustained and the individual's ability to perform in a sport. Benefits result from the use of training that emphasizes the body's natural ability to move in three anatomical planes of motion. Though machines can often be safer to use, they restrict movements to a single plane of motion, permitting an unnatural form of movement for the body, and may lead to injury or to faulty movement patterns.
