This mechanism (the Stabilizer) analyzes and trains the timing within the deep core musculature.  Core stabilization initiates the process of spinal/pelvic rehab.  It is the first step to maintaining a healthy posture and preparing the body to handle the stress of every day activities like carrying groceries and lifting children.  This process is what we call neuromuscular re-education because over time, you body loses the ability to function as it should.

The next step is to strengthen

The next step in rehab…
exercise without moving and aggravating joints
recruit 98% of the muscle fibers
coordinate nervous system
makes your every-day activities easier (carrying groceries)
releases Human Growth Hormone (more than resistance training)
improves bone density
improves muscle endurance, strength, and cardio-vascular endurance
…and many more!
 

After an injury, it is essential for joints to return to proper alignment. a good rehab program will include exercises that target joint stability. This is most important following a lower extremity injury. Lower extremity joint stability is first achieved by having a physician assess the joint for structural defects or limitations caused by the injury. The joint is also assessed for deficits in soft-tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. once the anatomy is returned to proper alignment, joint stability can be improved greatly by targeting exercises that restore muscle strength and flexibility. It is in this area that athletes and patients have the most control over rehab and recovery from injuries.

Neuromuscular training and proprioception is the key to joint stability. Neuromuscular control is an unconscious response to joint motions that occurs without awareness. It is how a runner adjusts to uneven pavement or shifts his weight to stay balanced on inclines. Proprioceptive information includes an ability to detect joint position, movement, direction, amplitude and speed of motion. In theory, a joint that possesses a high level of neuromuscular control and a highly sensitive proprioceptive feedback system can respond appropriately to variations in forces placed upon it during activity and decrease risk of injury. therefore, The goal of proprioceptive exercises are to train joint proprioceptors to adapt to stimuli received either during or prior to initiation of a deleterious movement.

After an injury, this ability is often decreased and an athlete may need to perform specific exercises to get that ability back and relearn movement patterns and skills. Through training, an athlete can improve his ability to make adjustments quickly and decrease the potential for another injury. Research indicates that patients who participate in neuromuscular retraining after an ankle sprain have better muscular activation and improved muscle reaction to changes in terrain than those who do not perform such exercises. Karp chiropractic has been using neuromuscular exercises to prevent and rehab most injuries.
