functional restoration active rehab
Dr. Nicole has been working to create this program to evaluate the muscles that relate to the spinal structure of the body. By evaluating for imbalances, such as muscles that may be over- or under-developed, or those that are too tight or too weak, we hope to help make corrections through targeted stretches and exercises in order that the body may regain some of its self-correction (think how it was when your body was younger and why it seemed more resilient). This will be the first program of its kind in our area.
who needs functional rehab? |
|
Anybody with stubborn, reoccurring pain or who is not performing to desired potential may need active rehab.
How do we do this? Think of us as a lab testing company for muscles. Just as a lab might analyze blood to see how the body chemistry is functioning, our program evaluates the muscles to see how the body mechanics are functioning. Utilizing a barrage of physical tests, we root out those areas that are unbalanced, such as muscles that may be over- or under-developed, or those that are too tight or too weak. We want to make corrections through targeted stretches and exercises with the goal to return these weakened regions of the body to a normal state, resulting in enhanced performance and prevention of future injury.
It is our desire to help restore health, not simply alleviate symptoms.
- Young athletes with recurring injuries
- Those training for marathons or other sports who want to increase performance
- Those who want to turn back the clock on their body
- Those just not able to hold their chiropractic adjustment
- Those with “text or desk neck” or "beer belly”

what happens during functional rehab? |
|
The goal of Functional Restoration Active Rehab is to identify your weak links.
To start, we will take you through one of the most complete Functional Evaluations you will ever experience. We assess movement patterns, functional capacities, balance, and range of motion, among other criteria. We will find out what muscles are tender, tight or overactive, weak or deconditioned, and we will show you what you can and can’t do.
Approximately one week following your Functional Evaluation, we present a comprehensive Report of Findings. In a nutshell, functional rehabilitation is necessary for regions of the body where your score falls below 85% of normal for any specific test. Your report will include a link to MyRehabExercise.com where you may view your complete set of customized exercise videos. These exercises will be accessible for you to view for six months. We encourage you to incorporate our customized exercise prescription into your current exercise regime, provide the results to your current personal trainer or physical therapist, or allow us to customize a one-on-one, in-office comprehensive treatment plan. Throughout these evaluations, we utilize research and normative data as we compare you to people in your age and gender.
Once your weak links are identified, we then want to take these injured or weakened regions of the body and return them to a normal state.
