More Than an Adjustment — A Roadmap to Lasting Recovery

Chiropractic care works best when it's paired with movement. At Active Chiropractic, your chiropractor doesn't just treat your pain in the office — they send you home with a personalized exercise plan designed specifically for your condition, your body, and your lifestyle.

These programs are built around rehabilitative exercise: a structured combination of stretching, strengthening, and motor-control routines that support healing, prevent re-injury, and help you get back to doing the things you love.

Whether you're recovering from a sports injury, dealing with chronic back pain, or simply looking to move better every day — there's a program here for you.

Why Rehabilitative Exercise Matters

A consistent, guided exercise routine does far more than just ease pain — it creates lasting change in how your body moves and feels.

💪

Reduces Pain & Stiffness

Targeted exercises reduce inflammation, loosen tight muscles, and take pressure off irritated joints — giving you real, lasting relief.

🔄

Restores Range of Motion

Stretching and mobility work help you reclaim the movement you've lost — so everyday activities feel easier and less painful.

🛡️

Prevents Re-Injury

Strengthening the muscles and joints around an injured area creates a natural support system — reducing your risk of the same problem coming back.

⚡

Speeds Up Recovery

Active rehabilitation accelerates the healing process by promoting circulation and encouraging tissue repair — getting you better, faster.

🧘

Improves Posture & Balance

Core and stabilization exercises correct the imbalances and postural habits that often cause pain in the first place.

🏃

Enhances Athletic Performance

For active individuals, a targeted program builds functional strength and flexibility — so you can train harder with less risk of injury.

How Your Exercise Program Works

Every program is personalized — because no two bodies, injuries, or recovery timelines are the same.

Comprehensive Assessment

Your chiropractor evaluates your posture, strength, flexibility, and movement patterns to identify the root cause of your pain and any contributing weaknesses.

Personalized Program Design

Based on your assessment, a specific set of exercises is selected from our library — matched to your condition, fitness level, and recovery goals.

In-Clinic Instruction

Your chiropractor walks you through each exercise in person, ensuring proper form and technique so you get maximum benefit and avoid strain.

Home Program Access

You receive access to your personalized exercise links from this library so you can review demonstrations and instructions anytime, at home or on the go.

Ongoing Monitoring & Progression

As you improve, your program evolves. Your chiropractor adjusts exercises at follow-up visits to keep challenging your body and prevent plateaus.

Move Gently. Heal Effectively. Live Better.

Our exercise programs are designed to be gentle, accessible, and effective — whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply looking to feel more like yourself again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to start a rehabilitative exercise program?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with our chiropractor, who will assess your condition and create a personalized program during your first appointment.
How are these exercises different from something I'd find on YouTube?
These programs are prescribed by your chiropractor specifically for your condition, your fitness level, and your recovery stage. Generic online routines can actually cause harm if they're not matched to your individual needs. Our programs are evidence-based, clinically validated, and regularly updated.
I'm in a lot of pain — is exercise safe for me right now?
In most cases, gentle, guided movement is actually one of the best things you can do for pain. Your chiropractor will assess whether exercise is appropriate at your current stage of recovery and prescribe movements that work with your body — not against it. If you're in acute pain, please book an appointment so we can assess you first.
How long will it take before I see results?
Many patients notice improvements in pain, stiffness, and movement within two to four weeks of consistent exercise. Longer-term benefits — like reduced re-injury risk and improved posture — develop over several months of regular practice. Your chiropractor will track your progress and adjust your program accordingly.
How much time do I need to commit each day?
Most programs require just 10–20 minutes per day. Your chiropractor designs programs that are realistic for your schedule — because consistency matters more than intensity. Even short, regular sessions produce meaningful results over time.
Can I access my exercises from my phone?
Yes! All exercise pages on this site are mobile-friendly, so you can easily follow along at home, at the gym, or anywhere else. Simply bookmark the links your chiropractor recommends and pull them up whenever you're ready to exercise.
Does my insurance cover chiropractic and rehabilitative exercise?
Many extended health benefit plans cover chiropractic care, which includes the prescription and management of your rehabilitative exercise program. We recommend contacting your insurer to confirm your specific coverage. Our team is happy to provide documentation to support your claims.
Can I do these exercises if I've never exercised before?
Absolutely. Our exercise library includes beginner-level programs specifically designed for people who are new to exercise or returning after a long break. Your chiropractor will always match the program to your current ability and progress it gradually as you build strength and confidence.

Ready to Move Better and Feel Better?
