Strength
Strength is a defining feature in rehabilitation, both mentally and physically.
Strength in the body is essential for gaining and maintaining function, bone health, posture, body mechanics, joint function, and muscle balance. Incorporating strengthening exercises into a daily routine for pre/post-injury rehabilitation will help rebuild, repair, and stabilize the musculoskeletal system.
Strength of the mind is integral for growth, development, motivation, and goal setting. Mental strength is essential to overcome the obstacles incorporated with an accident, injury, or health conditions.
The mind-body connection infers that our feelings, thoughts, perceptions, and attitudes can positively and/or negatively affect our bodies functioning. Encompassing both physical and mental strength components will encourage the mind-body connection during rehabilitation.
Determination
Determination by oneself can help surpass any and all obstacles. It can be willpower, an intention, or a purpose to achieve a goal. In rehabilitation, determination is a direct reflection of pushing oneself, both, mentally and physically toward an end result.
Perseverance
Perseverance is continuing to work with maximal effort to achieve your goals in the face of adversity, obstacles and difficulties.
Overcoming an injury or illness will challenge the mind and the body to overcome unforeseen obstacles. There are many variables in every rehabilitation program and no case is ever the same. When dealing with pain, limitations, decreased range of motion, mobility, and functional abilities, perseverance is the only option to progress and achieve your goals. No matter how much doubt is present the end result can be positive and enlightening.
Balance
Balance in the body can have multiple meanings. It can be balance between the mind and body, balance in the reflection of how one sees themselves, balance in each plane of motion, balance between the twin sets of muscles, and balance between reciprocal muscle(s) or groups of muscles.
Most people typically think of balance as the ability to stand, walk, or not fall over. This concept applies to development, stability, injuries, and aging. Working the stabilizer or stability muscles in the body, works towards greater function and furthermore safety in the environment and with activities of daily living.
Balance comes with stability and stability works for greater balance throughout the body. Stability is the essence of balance, an increase in stability will result in a greater balance throughout the body.
