Unloading exercises using the Universal Exercise Unit (UEU) are specialised rehabilitation sessions performed with reduced load. This therapy supports rehabilitation, improves joint mobility, and helps relieve pain. At Zdrowotel Łeba, beautifully located in the scenic town of Łeba, UEU exercises are an integral part of our kinesiotherapy programme.
What do unloading exercises (UEU) look like and how long do they last?
Unloading exercises are a form of kinesiotherapy (movement therapy) carried out using a specialised Universal Exercise Unit (UEU). Through a system of pulleys and suspension straps, the weight of the body or specific limbs is partially or fully supported, allowing safe, controlled, and pain-free movement of the joints. Each session lasts 30 minutes. Thanks to unloading, the exercises are more comfortable and effective, even for patients with limited mobility.
Benefits of unloading exercises (UEU)
- Improved mobility: Regular unloading exercises increase joint range of motion and muscle flexibility, which is especially beneficial for patients with limited mobility.
- Pain reduction: Exercises performed with reduced load help alleviate muscle and joint pain, providing significant relief.
- Support for rehabilitation: Specialised exercises accelerate rehabilitation and aid the recovery of full functional ability.
- Comfort and safety: The UEU reduces joint strain, ensuring a safe and comfortable exercise experience.
