Exercise Therapy
In exercise therapy the patient plays an active role in the rehabilitation process under the guidelines of a kinesiologist. Active care is based on patient self-empowerment to allow the patient to assist in his/her own needs through exercise, pain management techniques and education, more specifically; body awareness. Improved body awareness has a positive impact on posture and good biomechanics.
With the help of our kinesiologist you will learn how to make the right changes to improve your posture, what exercises you can be doing on your own and prevention techniques that will last you a lifetime. Learning how to make small changes to your body alignment and symmetry can make the biggest changes in your daily routine, whether it means waking up with no headache, preventing onset of low back pain or simply finishing that afternoon run without pain. Our bodies tend to develop wear and tear over time. It is up to us to do what we can to keep the body in balance and get the most mileage out of our joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles.
Exercise therapy can improve tissue longevity by incorporating stretching, stability, range of motion, muscle balance, symmetry, muscle recruitment and strengthening techniques. Each of these techniques is catered to the individual to ensure the best possible program to meet the patient’s needs. The benefits of exercise include: increase in energy, better posture, improved athletic performance, reduced fatigue, improved nervous system function, speedy recovery from injury, better body awareness, reduced onset of chronic pain, improved flexibility, improved stamina, better endurance, improved strength, better breathing, reduced stress, improved sleep and more. Exercise is a fundamental part of overall health. When used in combination with the other therapies offered at our clinic, patients will optimize the benefits that exercise therapy can offer.
