Therapeutic Exercise

Therapeutic exercise is often times the cornerstone medication for healing most musculoskeletal injuries. While we place significant emphasis on manual therapy techniques to provide us the window of opportunity for improved mobility and decreased pain, it is therapeutic exercise that allows us the opportunity to improve strength, tissue healing, and resolve defective movement patterns that have been acquired. With that being said, most therapeutic exercise plans can be done at home or in a gym after proper guidance and education. When our patients walk through the door, they are not going to be doing exercises they could easily perform on their own time at their convenience. We will not waste your time by having you complete the exercises you are already doing on your own, rather offer you specialized treatments to further improve your ability to complete your therapeutic exercises with optimized mobility and muscle activation. Our “home exercise programs” not only involve exercises but often times incorporate stretching, self myofascial release techniques, and components from whatever activity or sport that has been limited by your injury.
