In medical exercise, post-rehabilitation bridges the gap between health care and fitness. It is the development and implementation of fitness and conditioning programs for clients with cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurological, and metabolic disorders or imbalances. The bridge occurs because exercise programming addresses pertinent medical issues in conjunction and coordination with chiropractic and medical care, massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy.
Patients gain strength, balance, and function for his/her daily life. Inherent imbalance wrought by injury or improper body mechanics is addressed to preempt further injury. Whether the patient is an athlete returning to competition following injury or joint replacement surgery, someone with lower back pain, an elderly individual afraid of falling, or anyone in between, post-rehab fitness puts exercise into the recovery and strengthening process.
Jill Foster is our Medical Exercise Specialist; Here is a list of the services she is currently offering.
The initial consultation includes a health history review and therapeutic activities to begin improving functional performance.
The follow-up visits are scheduled after the initial consult with Jill. Kinetic activities will be performed to increase coordination, strength, range of motion and flexibility. You will use exercise equipment, resistive training or exercise to strengthen certain areas of the body.
