As new treatment methods are developed the terms for these may get confusing, especially for patients who don't encounter the terms on a regular basis. For example, a patient suffering from a certain medical condition may be asked to see a physical therapist for exercise therapy or physical therapy, which may cause confusion if the patient is not familiar with these terms.

What is the difference between exercise therapy and physical therapy?

Exercise therapy is a regimen or plan of physical activities designed and prescribed to aid a patient's recovery from diseases and any conditions, which disturb their movement and day-to-day activities. Exercise therapy also aims to help patients maintain a state of well‐being through neuro re‐education, gait training, and therapeutic activities.

It is also designed to optimize the patient's overall health and improve their well‐being.
