Exercises and self care

Blog

I will use this blog to update you on exercises post- treatment that might be beneficial and other tips on how to stay healthy and pain free.

New links to videos will be posted on the last Friday of every month. For more videos, especially for exercises specific to your own rehabilitation, please visit my Facebook page, by clicking on the button below.

These are exercises and rehab exercises that I usually send to patients to help them in between osteopathic treatments.

I am a big proponent of “motion is lotion”. By continuing to gently move and strengthen areas where you may be feeling pain, you can accelerate your own recovery from that sore hip, or that pain in your back, that tightness in your shoulders.

I hope these exercises are beneficial to you- in bringing you back to health.
