Corrective Exercises at Lott Chiropractic in Lincoln
Our chiropractor at Lott Chiropractic in Lincoln, NE offers corrective exercises to help correct muscle imbalances and strengthen weak muscles, which can help you recover from a variety of musculoskeletal injuries.
Corrective Exercises Explained
Corrective exercises involve the use of specific strength training and stretching activities in order to help correct muscle imbalances that may be the result of a current or past injury or an improper exercise routine. Imbalances in your muscles can make you more prone to common injuries, like sprains, strains, and tendonitis. If the imbalance is severe, it may hinder your ability to perform everyday tasks or impede your sports performance. By participating in a corrective exercise program, you are helping to reduce the muscle imbalances in your body, heal your injuries and reduce your risk for future injuries.
Muscle Imbalances
Muscle imbalances are the result of uneven strength in the opposing muscles surrounding a joint. For example, if your calf muscle is strong but your thigh muscle is weak, you could develop a knee injury and/or knee pain due to an improper joint movement that is the result of the muscle imbalance.
