What are rehabilitation exercises? How are they different from other types of exercise?
Rehabilitation or “rehab” exercises are designed to treat a specific problem, such as low back pain or shoulder pain. With most other types of exercise, the goals include building muscle size, muscular endurance, or maybe both. With rehab exercises the goals are directly related to returning you to pre-injury levels of health – maybe even beyond that. Rehab exercises are a great way to compliment the chiropractic care you are already receiving, and in fact may help you spend more time away from our clinic, enjoying the things you like to do!
