Active Adult Injury Rehabilitation In Ankeny, IA
An Injury Shouldn’t Change What You’re Capable Of.
You shouldn’t have to give up the gym, running, hiking, sports, or the activities you enjoy because something hurts.
Whether your injury happened suddenly or gradually built up over time, our goal is to figure out why you’re having trouble, what needs to change, and how to safely build you back to the activities you want to do.
You Don’t Have to Be a Professional Athlete
You Just Have to Want to Keep Moving.
Our patients are people who want to stay active.
Maybe you’re lifting weights several days a week. Maybe you run before work, play recreational sports on the weekends, or simply want to keep up with your family without worrying about your back, knee, shoulder, or hip.
Your activity level matters because your treatment should prepare you for your actual life—not just make you feel better inside the clinic.
From “I Can’t Do That Right Now” to “Let’s See What I Can Do.”
Recovery Should Have a Direction.
We’ll start by understanding what is limiting you and what your body currently can and can’t handle.
Then we’ll progressively work on the things that matter:
Move better.
Restore the mobility and movement you need.
Get stronger.
Build the strength and control required for your activities.
Build capacity.
Gradually expose your body to more load, intensity, and activity.
Get back to doing it.
Return to the gym, the trail, the field, or whatever keeps you moving.
Your Treatment Shouldn’t Stop at “It Doesn’t Hurt Anymore.”
If you love lifting, we’ll eventually need to know how you tolerate lifting.
If you’re a runner, we’ll need to prepare you for running.
If you play sports, we’ll need to rebuild the demands of your sport.
Feeling better is important. Being ready for what comes next is the goal.
Stay Active. Stay Capable.
Don’t Let an Injury Decide What You Can Do.
Get a clear understanding of what’s going on and a plan built around getting you back to the activities you don’t want to give up.
“I have suffered from low back pain for over 15 years. I’ve tried several therapies to try to relieve the pain, including pain medication, traditional physical therapy, warm pool therapy, three different chiropractic styles, even spinal epidural injections. After about two months of sessions with Dr. Stewart, my mobility has increased, my pain levels have dropped significantly, and I have control of my own progress with the lessons and exercises he’s taught me. I truly believe I’ve avoided the eventuality of back surgery thanks to Dr. Stewart’s treatment, and I would highly recommend anyone with similar symptoms to contact him!”
