How Do Rehabilitative Exercises Work?
Rehabilitative exercises are mostly pain-free. The treatment progresses in three stages for your comfort and safety.
1. Early Stage Exercise and Rehabilitation
Your chiropractor or physical therapist will recommend gentle rehabilitative exercises to give your tissues time to heal. The chiropractor will start with simple exercises with repetition to deconstruct the expected movement of the muscle. It is also known as the cognition stage as you help your muscles gain recognition of expected functions.
2. Mid-Stage Exercise and Rehabilitation
Mid-stage exercises involve techniques like progressive loading. Progressive loading is a technique that helps to improve the load balance and frequency you can handle. The exercises target your bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Eventually, they will develop enough strength to help you withstand the strains and stresses of exercises and daily life. The exercises are adaptive to your individual needs and limits to help you recover effectively.
3. Late Stage Exercise and Rehabilitation
During this stage, chiropractors will recommend functional drills and exercises which will boost your stamina, flexibility, and strength. Some of the approaches that apply include load management and chronic load capacity. Load management helps you to build stamina and resistance to load stress on your muscles and bones. Chronic load capacity helps your body to perform a function on multiple occasions.
