Our rehabilitative protocols require active patient participation and are meant to reproduce actions necessary for natural and efficient movements. Research has shown that patients with chronic pain improve faster with increased activity. Dr. Drake will develop an individualized exercise protocol specifically designed for each patient according to their type of injury and the sport/activity they wish to return to. Scientific studies also show that exercise is more effective when combined with manual therapy (adjustments, soft tissue treatments, kinesiotape, etc).

DNS – Is a concept based on development kinesiology (how we develop as children), which can be re-applied to adults through proper respiration (breathing) and corrective exercise.

Retraining proper respiration, in conjunction with corrective exercise, can help with conditions related to the musculoskeletal system (low back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, etc), as well as gastro-intestinal conditions (acid reflux, Irritable bowel syndrome), anxiety, stress, etc.
