New Personalized Exercises For You
Dr. Larry is pleased to announce that the office is now using the "Phases Rehab Computerized Exercise Program".
"Phases Rehab" is a computer program that contains information about exercise rehabilitation commonly prescribed by Medical Doctors and Doctors of Chiropractic. The program offers the qualified health professional the means to optimize the overall health of their clients by providing a quality exercise database.
Exercises are categorized into separate body regions; show the body positions at start and finish; and are color coded for difficulty -- from easy to difficult.
Individualized stretching and core stability routines utilize regular floor exercises and stretches, the fitball, wobble-boards and tubing. They provide complete instructions and excellent photo diagrams. In addition, they are tailor-made for each individual from the easiest to the advanced.
There are over 1000 exercises to choose from! (Dr. Larry has set a goal of personally trying each exercise by March of 2005.)
At this office we prescribe physical exercise and rehab programs to many of our practice members.
Physical rehabilitation is the development of exercise protocols and processes that assist the body in returning to a more normal state of health.
Whether you are young, old, male, female, big or small -- if you are experiencing some form of disease (aging or poor health) you will benefit from the exercises.
When beginning the exercise programs please remember:
1. It took a long time to get to where you are today and it is going to take time to reverse the process.
2. A balanced program needs to include stretching, cardio endurance and strength training tailor-made to your individual needs. PATIENCE AND COMMITMENT ARE KEY. You will not be better after one or two adjustments or after one or two weeks of exercising!
Ask Dr. Larry for your individualized exercise program on your next visit. NOTE: There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXTRA CHARGE for this service.
Below is a sample page from the Phases Rehab Program. Make an appointment today to get your personalized program.
Dr. John Vargo, DC said:
"Phases rehab is the most effective patient home-care exercise tool I have seen. Phases rehab is a simple yet versatile home-care exercise program. I use it daily to reinforce the importance of patient involvement in any treatment plan."
Dr. Larry agrees with him.
