Learn About Corrective Exercises You Can Do At Home From Your Chiropractors in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and Port St. Lucie

Chronic pain has a way of slowly eating away at your quality of life. You may already be seeing a Jupiter chiropractor, Palm Beach Gardens chiropractor, or Port St. Lucie chiropractor for spinal adjustments, manipulations, and other chiropractic care. Still, you wish there was more you could do to help your pain.

You can. Many of the corrective exercises you do under the care of your chiropractor can be done at home, too. Here are some examples.


Which Corrective Exercises Can You Do at Home?

  • Lunge with knee pull: If your Jupiter chiropractor believes your feet may be causing your chronic pain, they’ll recommend lunges with knee pulls. These strengthen muscles in the gluteus maximus. To do the move, put one leg out and, using the opposite hand, tug on that knee. The goal is to avoid moving the back while doing this move.
  • Lying rotations: Lying rotations focus more on the oblique and torso. To perform this move, lie down flat on the ground. Bend your knees. Gradually move them up so they’re about even with your ribcage. Lower your legs and repeat in 30-second increments.
  • Hip flexor stretch: Although you wouldn’t think so, the femur, pelvis, and lumbar spine are included in the hip flexors. By working these areas with stretches, you’re reducing pain. Start your stretch by getting down on one knee. Keep your other foot outstretched. Focus on your gluteal muscles as you stretch the torso in 30-second increments.
