No two bodies are the same – and neither are two recovery plans. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to assess your current physical condition, movement limitations, and personal goals. 

From there, we create a tailored program of targeted exercises to help you: 

• Reduce pain and inflammation 

• Strengthen weak or injured areas 

• Improve posture and alignment 

• Enhance balance and coordination 

• Increase joint flexibility and range of motion 

• Regain confidence in your everyday movements 

Your recovery plan may include a variety of therapeutic exercises as each one has a unique purpose. These include: 

• Muscle Performance Exercises – Increasing power, endurance, and muscle strength are vital to good balance and stability, as well as bone and joint health. Resistance and endurance exercises are designed to increase muscle strength without injury. 

• Posture Exercises – You may not know it, but posture has a direct effect on muscle power, coordination, and injury risk. Hours spent at desks, leaning over keyboards, poor muscle tone, and poor posture patterns may all result in discomfort or disability. Posture exercises help to relieve aches and pains by correcting bad posture not just during training but also in everyday tasks. 

• Range of Motion Exercises – These kinds of exercises are aimed at increasing the range of motion in your joints and soft tissues. This may be done through active, passive, or assisted stretching activities designed to help your joints move better, without pain.  

• Area-Specific Exercises – It is easy to think of exercise as something we do with our muscles, but exercise can also help our body’s other systems. Exercises that are focused on your arms, legs, or back are all examples of area-specific exercises! 

• Relaxation Exercises – Although it is vital to exercise the body’s muscles, joints, and soft tissues, it is also crucial to help them relax and release. Even if sleeping when you are in pain is not necessarily the ideal way to deal with it, relaxing will help your body to begin the recovery process. Heat, ice, electrical stimulation, massage, or trigger point therapy are all pain-relieving therapies that can help the body recover, boost sleep, reduce blood pressure, and keep you going back to the gym for more exercise! 

• Coordination and Balance Exercises – You put the muscle and skeletal structures in your body to the test any time you rise, walk, rest, brush your teeth, prepare a meal, or go about your everyday activities. You lose your ability to look out for yourself and keep yourself safe if you cannot maintain your balance! If you do not have control over your body, you put yourself at risk for falls and injuries. Your ability to care for yourself or your loved ones depends on your ability to balance and coordinate your arms, legs, hands, and feet. That is why balance and coordination exercises are so important, especially after an injury or illness.
