Home Rehab Instructions

Welcome to our (YOUR) private HOME REHAB page!

Please scroll to the instructions for the exercises/stretches you have been prescribed. If you experience any pain, discomfort, or dizziness when performing your prescribed rehab., please let us know at your next visit or email Dr. Saunders at drjon@chirofirst.ca Pam at pam@chirofirst.ca.

The movements/exercises marked with ❗❗❗ should only be done if you have been prescribed them AND while on an active corrective adjustment plan as they require ongoing monitoring to make sure they are still appropriate for your case, otherwise they can irritate or exacerbate your condition.

Doing the correct exercises/stretches/traction that you have been prescribed is a vital step in your recovery, spinal correction and health maintenance. Consistency is key. Your results depend on you being an active participant in your recovery by regularly performing your prescribed home rehabilitation in addition to keeping on track with your adjustment schedule. While your adjustment schedule is the most important part of your recovery and wellness plan, your home rehab will help your adjustments ‘hold’ better so you will heal and feel better faster.
