Spinal Exercises
Exercise Motivation and Goals:
There are two general issues that a spine physician may have to address prior to implementing a successful exercise program. The first is how to get the spine patient motivated and second, how to organize a spine rehabilitative routine. One of the most important steps a spine physician or their staff can implement to get their patient motivated is to set reasonable short and long-term goals. This is best accomplished with periodic supervision or assistance from a spine rehabilitation specialist. The therapeutic goals must be specific, clear, and moderately difficult to obtain, but able to be achieved.
If the patient had to set their own goals they may set unachievable goals, which would lead to disinterest within relatively short period of time. The patient should be focused on short-term accomplishments, but should continue to set their sights on their long-term goals. Long-term goals commonly require lifestyle modification.
There are numerous reasons why an individual may not exercise. These reasons include:
Lack of time.
Fear of injury.
Believe that exercise is too boring.
Ferling of being too old to perform the exercise.
It is very important to address the basic mechanisms of tissue healing, recovery, and remodeling. The individual who understands the fundamental principles of recovery will be more compliant with their exercise program. The computer can be utilized to help an individual track their progress in many categories. This includes grading of pain and documenting range of motion. The more measures of progress that an individual is provided with more likely they are to see improvement.
