WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING

“This place is the best the staff is kind and friendly”

Bird Dog 4-Point Arm & Leg Raise Begin by placing your knees and hands on the floor, with your hips and shoulders at a 90° angle. While keeping stable and engaging your core muscles, lift one arm and an opposite leg straight out toward the horizon, with your thumb pointed to the ceiling. Place both arm and leg back down to starting position. Perform 10 repetitions and then repeat this exercise with the opposite arm and leg. To build stability, this exercise can first be performed using only the arm or leg, and the opposing arm or leg can be added once ready for progression.

“This place is the best the staff is kind and friendly and they go the extra mile to make sure you understand what is going on and why you need to do the treatment. I will definitely come back if I need to. Thanks for helping me with my issue.”
