Physical rehabilitation involves performing specific exercises meant for correcting specific problems. Depending on the matter of your concern, your chiropractor may give you a list of exercises to perform to reduce discomfort. The focus of therapeutic exercise is to regain flexibility, strength, and endurance related to specific physical problems.

​

Physical rehabilitation aims to improve, restore, and prevent loss of physical function. It can also improve a patient’s overall health, fitness, and sense of well­-being.

​

Additional objectives of physical rehabilitation include:

​

  •  Increasing mobility
  •  Releasing contracted muscles, tendons, and fascia
  •  Mobilizing joints
  •  Improving circulation
  •  Improving respiratory capacity
  •  Improving coordination
  •  Reducing rigidity
  •  Improving balance

 

Physical rehabilitation are classified into three major categories:

​

• Endurance training

• Resistance training

• Flexibility training

 

No matter what type of exercise is prescribed to remedy a patient’s specific condition, the final goal of rehabilitation is to acquire a maximum level of physical fitness, without the use of more invasive methods. Physical rehabilitation can be performed at home and gives you the power to improve your quality of life.
