Corrective Exercises

CORRECTIVE EXERCISES

So you have suffered an accident or injury, and are now in the process of healing. While you’re seeing results, it seems like you’ve been trying to recover for forever, and are frustrated by the pace. You just want to get back to everyday life as you know it.

Or perhaps you’ve just suffered your injury recently, and are anxious to get back in shape as soon as possible. Maybe you can’t afford to miss any more work than you have to, or are desperate to get back on the playing field or go on a trip you were really looking forward to.

Potentially, you may need corrective exercise not for a current injury, but for a past injury that has healed wrong or for a congenital condition that needs compensating for. Whatever the case, you’ll find help here.

Corrective Exercises in Riverdale, NJ

What Are Corrective Exercises?

A corrective exercise is one that helps to compensate for a condition. In some cases, this is because you have an injury that is changing the way you run, walk, work, lift weights or otherwise move.

If you have identified an imbalance in your body, a weak area, poor form, a secondary condition stemming from an injury or any other faulty facet of your health, a corrective exercise can help you work around it. This helps you strengthen the area and improve recovery time overall.

How Do Corrective Exercises Improve Recovery Time?

One of the most common factors in long recovery time is the time it takes to undo improper healing. Corrective exercises can help prevent that by ensuring you heal properly along the way, and therefore cut down the amount of time it takes you to get back to you.

What Are the Most Common Corrective Exercises?

The most common exercises are stretches and repetitive movements that involve various physical therapy tools. Common corrective exercises include:

  • Golf ball rolling
  • Foam rolling
  • Baseball rolling
  • Balance training
  • Stretching
  • Lying or standing rotations
  • Joint stretches
  • Arm raises
  • Lunges

Your chiropractors will help you target the correct part of your body with the correct exercise to achieve maximum healing, mobility and wellness.
