Rehabilitation Exercises: Key to Recovery and Long-Term Health

Rehabilitation exercises play a crucial role in improving joint, muscle, neck, and back problems. They are also essential for recovering from sports injuries. New research shows that even minor injuries can take up to a year to fully heal.

After any injury or trauma, key muscles often stop functioning properly. That’s why it’s vital to retrain these muscles as part of your recovery. While the original problem may have developed slowly over months or even years, rehabilitation exercises can help reverse the damage more quickly—although full recovery may still take several months.

Once your rehabilitation is complete, your body will be better equipped to handle everyday activities and physical stress. Studies have shown that supervised exercise in a dedicated rehabilitation environment is more effective than unsupervised workouts.

At the Isis Chiropractic Centres, our rehabilitation gyms are staffed by trained professionals who work closely with our chiropractors. Together, they create tailored exercise programmes designed to address your specific injury and needs. Every patient receives hands-on supervision to ensure safe, effective movement throughout the recovery process.

Without proper guidance, standard gym exercises can sometimes make your condition worse—even if they don’t cause immediate pain. Unlike typical gym staff, our team has the clinical knowledge to ensure your programme supports, rather than hinders, your recovery.

Always consult your chiropractor before starting any new exercise routine. With the right support, you’ll recover faster, avoid setbacks, and build a stronger, healthier body for the long term.

How Do I Correct My Muscle Imbalance?

After consulting your chiropractor, the gym staff will assess you individually to determine which particular muscles need training in order to help correct and prevent future problems.

Your personal programme will include core stability exercises and target flexibility, endurance and coordination.

Will Doing These Exercises Alone Stop Me Getting Back Trouble?

Suitable exercises are an adjunct to your chiropractic care. They will strengthen your spine and improve your ability to cope with daily demands, but periodic chiropractic care (maintenance care) is often necessary to ensure you remain in optimum health.
