At your first consultation with Dr. McClanahan, your physical condition will be evaluated. This allows us to create an exercise program that works for you. This program will be carefully monitored by Dr. McClanahan and our staff to make sure you’re getting the best possible workout. A few different forms are strengthening, endurance, flexibility, balance, and functional movement exercises.
There are many different exercises to choose from. Although you should not attempt any of them before consulting with us, there are a few that are commonly prescribed. Spinal Rotation is an exercise that takes place while sitting. Reach one arm across your stomach and grab the opposite side of the chair. Look over the shoulder while rotating your mid and lower back. Try to hold this position for fifteen to thirty seconds. Lower Back Extensions have you start out by laying flat on your stomach. Your hands should be placed by your sides. Lift your head and body off the ground using just the muscles in your lower back. Hold this for four to five seconds before relaxing. Repeat between ten and fifteen times.
Neck Stretches are another important subgrouping. For these, start off by bringing your ear to your shoulder. Hold your neck in this position for five to seven seconds. Force your ear towards your shoulder, stretching the muscle on the opposite side. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness or lightheadedness, stop immediately.
