Strength and Flexibility Assessments
“Put
Spring back into your step and your activities by taking advantage of our
Strength and Flexibility Assessment at Schubbe Resch. This personal evaluation
will be performed by one of our therapists to isolate problem areas and to
discover possible trouble spots which prevent you from enjoying your everyday
activities and special outings. Whether
it is gardening, golfing, walking or watching your young athletes on the baseball
or soccer fields. This assessment will be time well spent so you can spend your
time well. After your assessment, your personal therapists will show you
posture, stretches and specific strengthening ideas.” Dr. James McRae, DC
“Many of
our patients get hurt doing everyday tasks that they have done many times
before, such as bending over to pick up a golf ball or tie up the dog. Although
it may not make sense at first, these incidents are the result of changed
movement patterns over time. This change is often a result of the body compensating
for a loss of flexibility or strength somewhere in the body. The body will
always find a way- but the results often aren't pretty. A flexibility and
strength assessment will help find and address the underlying issues that may
have led to poor movement patterns. For example- tight hamstrings will make it
increasingly difficult to use your legs when bending. This will result in an
over utilization of the back. Injured low backs usually
aren't weak backs- They are tired backs!! Anyone who wants to get to the bottom
of why their back hurts and try to uncover the clues will benefit from this
service.” David Gunderson, BS
Our
therapists will test your muscle strength by doing a table top muscle
assessment. Many times when the muscles aren’t doing their job, another muscle
group will compensate, leading to muscle imbalances and pain. They also address
core strength and the most effective ways to strengthen those core muscles. A
strong core is very important for preventing many aches and pains in the low
back and neck, as well as other areas of the body. The therapist will give you
a personalized program based on their findings and the equipment you have
available at home.
Once you are
through the assessment phase, your therapist will use their findings to take
you through different types of functional workouts. Each workout is designed
for your specific needs. Based on the therapist’s evaluation, they will create
a customized home workout program for you.
