REHABILITATION

CONTACT US

Rehabilitation involves specific and structured exercises designed to help support recovery from injuries, conditions, or disorders affecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, or bones. These exercises may also help improve independence, mobility, and overall wellbeing as part of a broader recovery process.

Conditions That May Benefit From Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation exercises are often used to support recovery from a range of conditions, including:

  • Trauma injuries – sprains, strains, dislocations, fractures, or breaks
  • Chronic conditions – such as low back pain, neck pain, arthritis, or osteoporosis
  • Overuse injuries – including tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or rotator cuff irritation
  • Neurological conditions – such as sciatica or disc bulges.
If you are recovering from an injury or condition and would like to discuss whether rehabilitation exercises or chiropractic care may be suitable for you, contact our Deception Bay clinic to arrange an appointment.

The Benefits of Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation can help support recovery and movement in a number of ways:

  • Support recovery – assist the body’s natural healing processes
  • Encourage pain management – may help reduce discomfort during recovery
  • Increase mobility and function – support day-to-day activities and movement
  • Improve strength and flexibility – help enhance range of motion and stability
  • Prevent future injuries – promote safe movement and correct exercise technique

How Rehabilitation and Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Gonnet Chiropractic, our chiropractors provide individualised assessments to understand the factors contributing to your condition. This may include reviewing your health history, lifestyle, and posture.

Based on your assessment, care may include:

  • Gentle chiropractic adjustments
  • Soft tissue therapies
  • Rehabilitation exercises or movement guidance
  • Lifestyle recommendations to support recovery and spinal health

Each approach is tailored to the individual, with the aim of supporting comfort, movement, and function.

Chiropractic rehabilitation will often consist of regular exercises that include stretching, stabilisation, aerobic and balance sessions. These exercises are about strengthening muscle groups and nervous system control to reduce pain and psychological stress, increase fitness and overall health, optimise the healing of damaged tissue or muscle, improve your posture, co-ordination and balance, and reduce the risk of re-injury. Furthermore, these exercises will be tailored to best suit your individual needs and limitations.
