Therapeutic Exercise and Neuromusculoskeletal Reeducation

Therapeutic exercises and NMS reeducation are targeted movements designed to correct dysfunctional patterns, build strength and endurance, and alleviate pain. In chiropractic care, they’re a key way to support your body’s natural mechanics and reduce pain. But here’s the fascinating part: When you engage in these exercises, it’s impossible to separate the brain from the body—the two work hand-in-hand, influencing everything from physical coordination to cognitive function(9).

These exercises address imbalances in how you move, helping to:

Improve biomechanics

Reduce pain

Boost muscle strength

Reduce stress to muscles joints and ligaments

improve overall endurance for daily activities

Research shows that exercise has also been linked to increasing BDNF(8), a neurochemical responsible for promoting neuroplasticity as well as promoting cognitive performance(9).
