This type of therapy helps patients maintain their strength, function, and range of motion no matter what the underlying cause of their peripheral neuropathy is. Exercising against increasing resistance, isometric exercise, and the use of weights can help a peripheral neuropathy patient strengthen muscles that have become weakened.
