The warmer weather and longer days make this time of year a great one if you like to get out there and hit the court, the diamond, or the field. But an injury can spoil the whole season, making it hard to stay active and keep your head in the game. Just like playing a game of pick-up basketball, sports injury recovery is all about the team dynamic. And if you’re dealing with a ligament sprain, muscle tear, or other problem, a physical exercise therapist can run point so you’re in prime position to get a win.
Physical exercise therapy is a great way to recover more quickly from an injury and maintain a level of activity. When you work with a physical therapist at Wills Chiropractic, you’ll be putting your care into the hands of someone who genuinely wants you to feel better as quickly as possible. The goal isn’t just to get you back to where you were before your injury, but to get you to an even better place.
A big part of the physical exercise therapy process is teaching you a wide range of rehabilitative exercises. Your therapist will show you how these exercises are done and coach you through the form and movement so that you perform them correctly. This is part of your physical exercise therapy in-office, and it’s something that you can take home. By working rehabilitative exercises and daily stretching into your routine between office visits, you can speed up the sports injury recovery process.
As you progress through the phases of sports injury recovery, you can start working to recover your range of motion, flexibility, strength, and speed. For that, Wills Chiropractic can also help—we offer personal training services and cutting-edge tools like Power Plate to help you be your best.
Warmer days are here, and Wills Chiropractic can help you get ready for spring and all the sun and fun to come. If you’re trying to get your beach bod back, hoping to enjoy a full day of shopping without pain, or just want to start new health-conscious habits that’ll put you on track to better wellness, we’ve got your back. Schedule an appointment and visit us in Rochelle, IL.
The holiday season is a time for joy and celebration, but it can also take its toll on you physically and mentally. If you find yourself feeling run down or experiencing back pain from sleeping in an uncomfortable guest bed, dynamic stretching can help you loosen up and enjoy the holidays to the fullest.
While many people jump to conclusions about sports injuries or poor posture, there's another culprit that often goes overlooked when it comes to back pain: dehydration. Yes, the simple act of not drinking enough water can lead to discomfort and pain in unexpected ways. If you're struggling with persistent back pain, understanding the link between hydration levels and muscle function might just provide the relief you've been searching for.
