Exercise Enhances Physical Therapy

by , March 8, 2012

Home Exercise is a vital adjunct to physical therapy treatment.  Since we are primarily a manual therapy clinic, we spend a good part of every session trying to gain ease and movement where there is restriction. For example, a common postural tightness occurs in the front of the hips.  We spend a great deal of every day sitting – at work, watching TV, reading.  Long hours in a sitting position create a shortening at the front of the hip joints. Therefore, much of physical therapy treatment would be spent doing manual release for the psoas and quadriceps muscles to create a more effortless, upright posture.

However, we only see you for an hour or so weekly.  It is very important that you carry through with exercises at home so that you don’t lose what you gain in a manual therapy session.  Correct performance of exercise is not busy work.  It’s a necessary continuation of corrections gained during our sessions with you.  So Do Your Exercises!

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!
