Named exercise programs and hands-on techniques that physical therapists teach to restore movement, including physical therapy itself, the Ponseti method, Frenkel exercises, the Vojta method, graded exercise therapy, the McKenzie method, Williams flexion exercises, pelvic floor therapy, kinesiotherapy, nerve glides, continuous passive motion and exercise prescription. An entry belongs here when its own source describes such a method. Each member is a physical rehabilitation entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
