Special populations include a broad variety of individuals such as amputees, individuals with spinal cord injuries, the elderly, and even pregnant women. These groups have unique needs and therefore important considerations must be made when taking part in an exercise therapy programme.
Physical therapy or exercise therapy that is guided by a Biokineticist can provide a broad variety of health benefits. Exercise can greatly reduce the risk of injury and disease which these populations are generally more susceptible to. Therefore, exercise is widely recommended as a form of healthcare for these people.
