Will Yoga and Other Exercises Help with My Chiropractic Care?

The human body is comprised of more than 650 muscles, tendons and ligaments that must be in an optimal state of health in order to support the movement of bones without causing pain and discomfort. When you are participating in a chiropractic care plan, it is highly recommended that you engage in a collection of exercises, such as yoga, Pilates and calisthenics. The result of continued participation in yoga and other exercises combined with your chiropractic care has been found to promote the success of long-lasting overall health and injury rehabilitation by realizing the following benefits from your extensive treatment plan:

• Strengthening your core muscles, such as the back, pelvis and abdomen
• Strengthening, stretching, lengthening and toning of all muscle groups, including the legs, arms and buttocks
• Improved posture
• Increased flexibility
• Improved muscular control and coordination
• Improved balancing
• Safeguarding from injuries
• Rehabilitation of joint and spinal injuries
• Stress reduction
• Improved concentration
• Increased energy and stamina
• Balanced breathing
• Increased metabolism
• Weight reduction

The advantages from your steadfast commitment to a treatment plan of chiropractic care and healthy exercising must also be accompanied by a sound nutritional plan created by an expert nutritionist. To participate in yoga, Pilates and calisthenics, you must be adequately hydrated, while following a healthy nutrition plan to avoid injury and sustain stamina. A skilled team composed of a chiropractor, nutritionist, massage therapist and exercise instructor is needed to guide you to a state of optimum health.
