Main Page Welcome to the Home Exercises and Stretches area of our website! Contained within are descriptions, pictures and animations of various therapeutic exercises and stretches which you may have been prescribed to perform at home; please see important "NOTE" below. Therapeutic exercises and stretches are an important part of many treatment plans as they increase muscle strength and coordination, and enhance flexibility and mobility. Many of the exercises and stretches can be continued even once active care is finished. This reduces the likelihood of sustaining new injuries and minimizes the recurrence of previous injuries. Our goal here is to provide our patients with the tools to correctly and safely complete the exercises and stretches they have been instructed to perform at home. Each exercise and stretch contains a full written description of how to perform the movement along with either a picture or animation to further assist in proper and safe form. NOTE: The exercises/stretches contained within this website are solely for the use of existing, active patients of our clinic who have received a prescription for these exercises/stretches. Other individuals do not have our permission to perform the exercises/stretches contained within. Attempting to perform these exercises/stretches, unless explicitly prescribed by our office, could result in serious injury or a worsening of existing conditions.    ©2004-2005 BartonChiropractic.com
