The Final Step

Recovery doesn’t end at discharge.

Post rehabilitation is the final step in the recovery process that follows the skilled care received from a physician, physical therapist, or chiropractor. Your personalized program will allow you the opportunity to continue the recovery process in a supervised exercise environment.

If you have special needs such as limited range of motion, decreased strength, lack of endurance, balance or coordination dysfunction, or diminished functional capacity for daily activities — this program is for you.

What to Expect

Your first appointment

Your first appointment is an assessment for muscular imbalances — finding which muscles have become tight and which have become weak. From that assessment, your Post-Rehab Trainer designs a program to stretch what’s tight and strengthen what’s weak. That eliminates joint compensation, so a dysfunctional joint can become functional again.

You hear a lot about “functional training” these days. Here’s the problem: functional exercises aren’t functional if your joints aren’t functioning properly. A functional exercise done in a dysfunctional position is dysfunctional exercise. We fix the joint first.

Your care team stays involved

We coordinate with your physical therapist, physician, or chiropractor using a referral form, so your trainer knows your condition and your precautions before you ever pick up a weight.

Three ways to use the pool

Your referral source may recommend post-rehab training in the pool, an aquatic exercise class with a gym membership, or continuing the exercises you learned in physical therapy during our independent pool times.

Every Post-Rehab Trainer holds a Post Rehab Specialist or Medical Exercise Specialist certification from a nationally recognized organization.
