Therapeutic Exercise
Our Unique Corrective Therapeutic Exercise Protocol Can Ease Chronic Aches and Pains
Have you been looking for a way to boost your physical activity while still reducing your pain symptoms? Corrective Therapeutic exercise is the most efficient way to regain function and live pain-free!
What is Corrective Therapeutic Exercise?
It's not just about strength — muscles must fire in the proper sequence and proper degree so that the action at any given joint is executed accurately. The problem with most exercise protocols is that they do not address an extremely important fact: the efficacy of the muscle system is dependent on its controller, the central nervous system (CNS).
Our Corrective Therapeutic Exercise protocol utilizes advanced clinically sound techniques to restore and optimize the sequential detailed neurological input and output directed by our CNS. We call this Muscle Pattern Reorganization — a protocol and philosophy in which we both prepare the muscles to be strengthened and then perform our exercises with the goal of optimizing the efficacy of the controller (CNS). Strengthening without first restoring this process would be like building a home on an uneven foundation.
Benefits of corrective therapeutic exercise
Corrective therapeutic exercise is much different from most exercise programs. It includes advanced sequential targeted movements aimed at relieving pain and restoring you to your optimum level of physical function. There is a wide variety of corrective therapeutic exercises, each with a unique purpose:
Area-Specific Exercises
Target breathing and circulation to help speed healing, improve blood flow, and lower stress on the body.
Relaxation Exercises
Help the muscles, joints, and soft tissues relax and loosen. Pain relieving techniques including heat, cold, electrical stimulation, massage, or trigger point therapy can all help the body relax.
Coordination and Balance Exercises
Every time you stand, walk, sit, or take care of daily activities, you are testing your coordination. Balance and coordination exercises are especially important after an injury or illness.
Range of Motion Exercises
Aimed at increasing the range of motion in your joints and soft tissues through active, passive, or assisted stretching.
Posture Exercises
Aimed at correcting poor posture not just when you exercise, but also in your daily life activities to alleviate aches and pains.
Muscle Performance Exercises
Resistance and endurance exercises designed to increase muscle strength without injury.
