Rehabilitative Exercises

At Portland Chiropractic Group we feel that your treatment is not complete unless you have received exercises to help you fully recover and avoid flare-ups. In fact, we often prescribe (and demonstrate) some specific rehabilitative activities on your first visit. Research has proven that specific strengthening, stretching, and coordination exercises will help you recover more quickly from your injury and also help prevent re-occurrence.

We use a science-based, progressive rehabilitation protocols that will increase in difficulty as your condition improves. The goals of rehabilitation include reducing pain, improving function, improving strength, increasing flexibility, and reduce the risk of re- occurrence. All of our doctors and therapists have training and experience in rehabilitative exercise which gives you quality assurance that your program will be the correct one for you and supervised appropriately.

It’s important to note that we don’t chain you to expensive “in-office” rehabilitation programs. On the contrary, we emphasize exercises that can be done at home with minimal tools or specialized equipment. Naturally, we will provide instruction on use of typical gym equipment. Last but not least, we will often recommend exercise-based activities such as hiking, biking, swimming, or even dancing. Our endeavor it to provide you with practical exercises and activities that you can do at home, when travelling, at your gym, or on the playing field.
