Rehab Exercises in Chippewa Falls
Rehab is a gradual, step-by-step process that helps you recover following an injury. If you’re in a chronic state of discomfort or pain from a previous injury, accident, fall or other trauma, your body’s going to adapt to those injuries.
What a Rehab Program Includes
Though every patient’s rehab program will be customized to meet their specific needs, here are some approaches that we may take to help you heal:
Passive: For a minor injury, we would perform some passive rehab. Icing and stretching will be recommended. We also will provide some active muscle release to address the ligaments.
Active: Once you’re starting to feel better and get stronger, we will have you do some active rehab exercises. These may include some light exercise with weights. We also will provide you with exercises focused on posture.
We will also will have you sit on the physio ball and get back up. The purpose is to work on muscle coordination and balance. Our objective is to help you get stronger and not reinjure yourself.
Rehab exercises can help with the following:
- Limit the extent of the injury
- Address pain
- Restore range of motion
- Regain spinal alignment
Homework to Help You Recover
As it’s important that you participate in your healing, we will provide you with instructions on how to perform specific exercises and stretches. Dr. Denn will demonstrate how to perform them in the office and will give you instructional sheets to take home.
