“Exercise is a celebration of what your body can do. Not a punishment for what you ate.”
No matter what your presenting condition is, rehabilitation principles can be utilized in your plan of management in order to not only treat your current condition, but help minimize how it effects you into the future. Rehabilitation is an important aspect of all treatment plans as it will help to both desensitize painful muscles and joints to movement, and it will increase the strength of those tissues to reduce the likely of future injury. Not only are rehabilitation principles used to treat conditions in the clinic, but they also offer a great way for you to be an active participant in your own health as they can be implemented long after you have left the clinic. They help to put you back in the driver’s seat when it comes to handling future flair ups and episodes to keep you out of the clinic and doing what you love.
There are various exercise techniques that can be utilized including free-weight training, body-weight training, resistance bands, stretching, balance and proprioceptive exercises, core and posture training, and many more.
