Chiropractic Care & Rehabilitation

At ADAPT Chiropractic & Rehab, treatment starts with understanding your concern—not simply treating the area that hurts.

Your assessment considers your symptoms, movement, physical function and the demands of your work, exercise, sport and everyday life. From there, care is tailored to your findings, goals and preferences.

Depending on your needs, treatment may incorporate chiropractic care, focused soft tissue therapy, assisted fascial stretching, mobility work, exercise rehabilitation and education.

The goal is to address your current concern while helping you build the movement, strength and confidence needed to stay active.

Chiropractic Care

Assessment. Hands-On Care. Rehabilitation.

Chiropractic care at ADAPT takes a practical, movement-focused approach to musculoskeletal health.

Your care begins with an assessment to better understand your symptoms, identify relevant physical findings and determine how your concern may be affecting your movement and function.

Based on your assessment and preferences, chiropractic care may include:

• Joint mobilization and manipulation
• Orthopaedic, neurological and functional assessment
• Soft tissue and myofascial techniques
• Mobility and movement work
• Assisted stretching
• Exercise and progressive rehabilitation
• Education and self-management strategies

Treatment is adapted as your symptoms and function change. For some patients, the initial priority may be managing pain and restoring comfortable movement. For others, the focus may progress toward strength, exercise tolerance, returning to sport or improving the ability to manage everyday physical demands.

There isn't one treatment approach for every patient. Your care should reflect what you need your body to be able to do.

Assisted Fascial Stretching

More Than Traditional Stretching

Assisted fascial stretching uses practitioner-guided movements and stretches to work through multiple areas of the body and explore available ranges of motion.

Rather than holding a single static stretch, your body is guided through different positions while the direction and intensity of the stretch can be adjusted based on your mobility, comfort and response.

It may be incorporated into care when working on:

• Mobility and flexibility
• Areas that feel tight or restricted
• Comfortable movement through larger ranges of motion
• Preparation for exercise or activity
• Recovery following physical activity
• Mobility alongside chiropractic treatment and rehabilitation

Assisted stretching may be particularly useful for active individuals, athletes, people who spend prolonged periods sitting or working at a desk, and those looking to maintain or improve their mobility.

It can be used on its own or incorporated into a broader treatment and rehabilitation plan.

Rehabilitation & Exercise

Build Capacity for What You Want to Do

Rehabilitation is an important part of the ADAPT approach and can be incorporated throughout your care—not simply after hands-on treatment has finished.

Exercises are selected based on your assessment, current abilities and goals. Depending on your needs, rehabilitation may address:

• Mobility and range of motion
• Strength
• Stability and movement control
• Balance and coordination
• Progressive loading
• Tolerance to work and everyday activities
• Returning to exercise, the gym or sport

As your symptoms and abilities change, your exercises can progress with you.

The aim is to gradually build your body's ability to tolerate the activities that matter to you rather than simply avoiding movement because something has hurt in the past.

Move. Strengthen. Adapt.

Focused Soft Tissue Therapy

Hands-On Care for Muscles & Soft Tissues

Focused soft tissue therapy may be incorporated when muscle or other soft-tissue findings are relevant to your presentation.

Rather than treating every area the same way, treatment is directed toward specific tissues and regions identified during your assessment.

Depending on your presentation, techniques may include hands-on soft tissue therapy, myofascial techniques, trigger-point work, instrument-assisted techniques and other approaches within the chiropractic scope of practice.

Soft tissue treatment may be combined with joint care, mobility work and exercise rather than being used as a stand-alone solution.

An Integrated Approach

You Don't Need to Decide Which Treatment You Need

You don't need to know whether you need an adjustment, soft tissue therapy, stretching or rehabilitation before you book.

That's what the assessment is for.

We'll discuss your concerns, examine the relevant areas and determine which approaches may be appropriate based on your findings, goals and preferences.

Your treatment may emphasize different things at different stages. Hands-on care may be more useful at one point, while exercise, strengthening and self-management become increasingly important as you progress.

Your care adapts as you do.
