Custom Exercises in Shady Point!
We teach our patients how to perform specific, targeted exercises to strengthen and correct the irregularities in your body which may be contributing to pain.
These corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home and help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan.
You may be experiencing pain that is associated with muscles and connective tissues which are being “overutilized” or have become too tight, inflamed, or restricted. In each case, targeted corrective exercises will help your body achieve balance and health.
Therapeutic Exercises
PARTIAL SIT UP
Partial sit ups are recommended for people with back pain. The same muscle groups are worked out without putting stress on the lower back. You will start just like a regular sit up with your back on the floor, both feet on the floor, and your knees bent. Raise your head, neck, and shoulders off of the floor and hold that position for 5 seconds. This exercise will strengthen your core and is simple to do. Repeat as many times as you can, with a goal of increasing your reps each day.
KNEE TO CHEST
You start this exercise the same way like the partial sit up. Begin the exercise by drawing one of your knees to your chest, using both hands (only one foot is now on air). Hold to the count of 10, then slowly release it to the rest position. Do 4-5 repetitions, and then repeat with your other leg, then both legs at the same time. This exercise stretches your glutes and back.
