Our Amherstview Clinic Prescribes... Exercise!

Improving your posture or rehabilitating an injured muscle or joint won’t happen overnight: your body needs gentle, repeated care to gradually change or heal. When you visit Amherstview Family Chiropractic & Massage for a musculoskeletal injury or problem, Dr. Helmstaedt will put together an exercise program that is tailored to your interests and your body’s specific needs.
An exercise prescription can include:
- Physical exercises, such as stretches
- Fitness activities, such as walking or swimming
Your chiropractic fitness plan should also include guidelines such as:
- How often you should repeat the exercise
- How long the activity should last
- How intense the exercise should be
- Which movements you should avoid
A Little Homework Can Make a Big Difference
Successful chiropractic and massage therapy requires an ongoing commitment on your part. Diligently following your exercise prescription can help you heal or change your body by integrating the main principles behind each exercise into your daily life.
