Functional Rehab in Norman OK
For over 20 years, Dr. Adams at Excel Chiropractic has been helping patients just like you get back to moving, feeling, and functioning their best. Our comprehensive approach to care is rooted in our MoveWell Three Phase Process: Relieve, Restore, and Refine.
Functional rehab is part of Phase Two, where we help to restore optimal biomechanics and healthy movement patterns so your body can heal and return to moving as it was designed to.
What to Expect
Once we’ve got you out of pain with our chiropractic care and soft tissue work, we will begin to focus on restoring optimal movement. We start with a computerized movement assessment. This shows us which joints of your body have restricted motion compared to joints that are moving with greater movement and stability.
Based on your specific assessment, we will build a customized program with exercises designed to address those areas of restriction and instability so that we can restore balance and healthy movement patterns.
We will teach you how to perform the exercises correctly and safely, and you will have in-office and at-home exercises to do.
Most of our patients with any kind of repetitive movement or chronic conditions have developed imbalances and unhealthy movement patterns that lead to restriction and instability. For many patients, postural muscles are most affected. We also see loss of mobility in the mid-back, instability between the shoulder blades, restricted mobility in the shoulder joints, and hip tightness, to name a few.
Our chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies work to get you out of pain and restore optimal motion to the joints and muscles. But if we don’t retrain our muscles to move correctly, they will continue to pull our joints out of alignment and back into unhealthy movement patterns. Our Restore phase helps your body hold onto these healthy changes and get back to moving as designed.
