This video introduces the Principles of Exercise Therapy with a focus on key mechanical principles: force, gravity, mechanics of position, and center of gravity. These fundamentals form the base of clinical biomechanics and directly guide our physiotherapy assessment and treatment decisions. I’ve used simple demonstrations and diagrams to make each concept easier to understand.
