Need Help Keeping Your Fitness Resolution?
Chicago Recovery Room Services
New fitness routines often come with new sensations in the muscles. This feeling of sore, aching, painful muscle is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), and is due to the temporary muscle damage and inflammation caused by breaking down muscle tissue during strengthening exercises. The good news is this pain is temporary and there are numerous things you can do to alleviate pain quickly so you don't miss a workout! 

Just like a gym membership, add a *Chicago Recovery Room membership to keep your fitness routine on schedule and to meet your New Year Resolution goals.

* Student and family pricing may be available at specific locations

Exercises for Diastasis Recti
Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is a condition in which the two sides of the abdominal muscle separate, as the tissue connecting them stretches. This typically happens in women during and following pregnancy due to the stretching of the abdominal wall, as the uterus expands. Physical therapy has been shown to be a highly effective diastasis recti treatment, helping to prevent and address diastasis recti pain. Watch the video above for two recommended exercises to improve diaphragm mobility and engage the deep core for better posture and stability.

“In today’s hectic healthcare environment, it is important to take the time to treat each and every client in a comprehensive and individualized manner. No matter the diagnosis or dysfunction, I believe the entire kinetic chain must be assessed in order to provide the best plan of care and achieve an optimal outcome for my clients. In my 30 plus years of treating in the outpatient orthopedic physical therapy setting, I have found that being a good listener will yield great results.  Being an active and engaged listener allows me to develop a more precise physical therapy diagnosis and get my clients on the road to recovery sooner. This very important characteristic is what sets our practice apart and fosters strong trust and loyal customers who frequently refer their friends and family.”
