Well remember back in school…
You would learn something in class, and then the teacher would make you go home and practice it? – The reason why is because repetition is how we learn.
New information creates new nerve connections in our brain (actual physical change!) – the more we do it, and the more the new information is integrated into other bits of related information, the more connections are created and the longer the changes (new info or skills) last!
How does this relate to Chiropractic?
Well you come into the clinic and get adjusted – this creates new connections in your brain, like learning new information.
Then usually you will be given some combination of stretches, strengthening exercises, and range of motion exercises to do at home. That’s your chiropractic homework – and it works the same way!
You go and do some related movements, re-enforce the new connections the adjustment made, and integrate it into other movements that you normally do, and then you get the multiplied benefit of the adjustment for longer – until it becomes the new normal for your body.
Remember that youre the only one to benefit from doing your homework, and the only one to suffer if you choose not to!
