Phase III - Functional Strengthening & Rehabilitation

This final phase of most treatment programs can usually begin in the fifth or sixth week. Muscles become weakened rather quickly when you have been favoring a painful back; and it is very important to re-strengthen them as soon as possible. First, your physical capacity is measured and kept in our computer. Then a four to twelve week exercise program is completed under our direct supervision. Progress is measured and you will then be counseled on how to stay in shape at home.
