Exercise
Therapy is a set of repetitive stretching or strengthening
maneuvers designed to develop weakened or injured muscle
groups that support the spine. Specific exercises help
rehabilitate and stabilize the spine.
How does Exercise Therapy work?
The
individual bones of the spine are held in place by muscles
and ligaments. Proper motion and position of these bones
are crucial for proper nervous system function, correct
posture, and good health. Exercises and repeated maneuvers
help these connective tissues.
Why is Exercise Therapy necessary?
By
the time many patients seek professional help; fibrotic
scar tissue has changed the elasticity and strength of
supporting muscles. A Program of carefully designed stretches
and exercises helps restore better tone to these damaged
tissues.
What can I expect from Exercise Therapy?
Results
take time. Exercise Therapy is an inexpensive and effective
way to speed your recovery, stabilize your spine, and
help prevent a relapse.
