Rehab Exercises in Ottawa
When pain, stiffness, or poor posture keep you from doing simple things like tying your shoes or reaching into the cupboard, it can be frustrating. At Ottawa Chiropractic Clinic, rehab exercises are a practical way to help you move with more ease and confidence again. Dr. Mike Hiatt often says “motion is medicine,” and he means it. The more we can safely keep you moving, the better your body can heal and stay healthy.
Rehab and exercise here are not boot camp or a one-size-fits-all class. Dr. Hiatt and Dr. Jung design simple, targeted stretches and exercises based on your specific problem areas. That might mean gentle daily stretches for a sore low back, strengthening work for a troubled shoulder, or a walking or light weight-lifting plan if you’re ready to do more. We’ll also talk about posture, how you sit at your desk, and how much time you spend on computers and phones, because those habits add up and can affect how you feel each day.
Conditions Rehab Exercises Can Help With
Rehab and stretching can support almost every kind of musculoskeletal complaint when you’re willing to put in the time and effort. We often use these programs to help with:
- Back and neck pain, including pain from long hours at a computer
- Stiffness and loss of flexibility in the hips, shoulders, and knees
- Posture problems from hunching, slumping, or looking down at devices
- Sports or work-related strains and sprains
- Reducing the risk of flare-ups or re-injury once you start feeling better
When you pair regular exercises with your chiropractic care, you can usually expect less pain, better mobility, and a lower chance of the same issue coming back.
What to Expect From Your Exercise Plan
Most practice members are asked to do their stretches at least once a day. For many, we recommend keeping up these simple routines for life. The goal is to maintain motion so you can bend, reach, walk, and do the things you enjoy without your body holding you back. We keep your plan realistic and easy to follow at home.
