Exercises and Stretches
Meet MVP’s Founder
Below is a list of links to videos for our stretches and exercises we commonly recommend. Our recommendations are specific to each patient. It is important to get a diagnosis prior to utilizing this content to treat a symptom or condition. It is also important to progress at the pace recommended by your physician. Every exercise has a purpose in your treatment progression. It is important to know what exercises make you feel better or worse.
When you feel better then more reps, sets or additional exercises are recommended. If you feel worse than we need to know what exercise was the culprit so we can identify what part of the musculoskeletal system is deficient. Adding too many exercises at once does not help to improve patients more quickly.
We want to keep patient happy and healthy with minimal setbacks in their care. This will get them to decrease pain and get them to their goal more quickly!
