PHYSICAL TRAINING IN STRATFORD

Physical training is an essential component of chiropractic care in Stratford and pain management. However, exercise doesn’t have to be a daunting undertaking. Oftentimes, beneficial movements and activities can be incorporated into daily routines. Many patients fear that physical training may increase pain, but it is often the lack of exercise that results in more pain.

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE IN MANAGING YOUR PAIN IN STRATFORD

• Strength
  The muscles and bones you use in support of your pain regions must be strong and capable of supporting motion and weight. If you can support the joint with stronger muscle that can endure throughout daily tasks, you can mitigate the pain.
• Improved Outlook and Mindset
  There is a biochemical benefit of exercise that improves mindset via the release of endorphins and other beneficial neuroactive chemicals. As well, exercise can be done alone, as time to yourself, or in a social group setting. Either way, it is great therapy.
• Improved Blood Flow
  Blood carries the oxygen and nutrients necessary for optimal function and, in many cases, healing.
• Mobility
  The motion of exercise usually benefits your range of motion and can aid if maintenance or restoration of function is a goal of your program.

EXERCISING VIA PLANNED SESSIONS

This involves a specific time set aside to exercise with motions and activities designed to help strengthen surrounding tissues and/or speed healing. A good exercise session typically involves the following pieces of equipment:

• Resistance training
• Functional mobility assessments
• Aerobic training
• Flexibility training
