Physical Therapy and Exercise
Exercise prescription is often a vital component of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Research and clinical experience are leading doctors, therapists, and trainers down a slightly different path than conventional physical therapy. From the works of experts such as Stuart McGill, Craig Liebenson, Gray Cook, and the Prague School of Rehabilitation, Lucas takes the stance that core strength is vital for spinal stability, as well as providing an extremely important base for distal mobility of our shoulders and elbows, and hips and knees. Exercises are prescribed based on patient needs to improve function and reduce risk of injury, be it improved diaphragmatic breathing, increased hip hinging mobility, stronger core muscles, or a fix for faulty movement patterns. |
