Therapeutic Exercises

There is no "blueprint" group of exercises That apply to all patients. To help we prescribe and teach exercises specific to the patient.  They are tuned to a patients unique health challenge. These exercises can be often be performed at home or often in the office.  Exercise is a vital part of sustaining spinal health and correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment, stressful postures and overuse. Exercises and stretches help you stay in balance and dissipate stress.
