Our physical therapists have advanced qualifications that set them apart
Rehabilitation therapy is an important part of a treatment plan for many conditions. Physical Therapy is also used effectively in helping injured workers return to the workforce, people suffering from arthritis and people recovering from surgery.
Exercises may vary and change from patient to patient, but the goal is always the same. The aim of a rehabilitation program is to regain pre-injury levels in all aspects of physical fitness. Correction of muscle imbalance problems around the shoulder, hip or knee are addressed effectively with exercise rehabilitation guided by a trained professional. Core stability muscles are also an important part of the treatment of chronic lower back pain.
A full rehabilitation and strengthening program is essential to ensure full recovery and in order to prevent further injury. These exercises sometimes include muscle stretching, joint mobility exercises or muscle strengthening exercises. A rehabilitation and strengthening program is essential to ensure full recovery and in order to prevent re-injuries.
Exercise rehabilitation helps to improve flexibility and balance
Flexibility is the ability to extend or stretch without breaking. Medically, the term is used to describe the range of motion in a muscle or joint. Increasing your flexibility is crucial for preventing injury and it can also improve performance. Loss of flexibility can lead to permanent changes in posture and normal muscle function. Therefore, there are countless benefits for all aspects of life in maintaining and improving the body’s flexibility and balance. Our physiotherapy programs can help you achieve those benefits.

What Patients are Saying…
It was my first visit and the entire experience was seamless. The staff was very communicative with me prior to my appointment, online registration made things a lot easier, and Bill was excellent. He took the information I provided and was able to help me get started with pain relief. Super happy I found them!
The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Dr. Michael is excellent and each time I leave feeling much better. Anybody walking in is definitely receiving the highest level of care!
My favorite chiropractors ever! Educated me and also listened to me. I am a furniture maker and they helped me get back to work a few different times and also helped me maintain a healthy back when I wasn’t injured.
I’ve been coming to Hudson Family Chiropractic for almost 3 years now. I’ve suffered from neck and bulged disc pain for years before coming here. I also used to suffer from headaches every day; however, Dr. John and Dr. Mike are miracle workers. I now barely get headaches anymore and my neck pain has eased drastically. I now have a quality of life without the pain and suffering I had before coming to Hudson Family Chiropractic. Thank you so much!
I have been going to Mike and John for the past 3+ years and they are hands down the best chiropractors that I have ever been to. It started out with a neck injury and I had a 1/2 marathon race the week after. After a few visits, they were able to help me and I ended up PRing that race. I continue to go to them for tune ups and also when I’m preparing for a race. Also, they are both very personable and easy to talk to!
I was having really bad neck/back pain and called Hudson Family Chiropractic to make an appointment. They fit me in quickly and my appointment was beyond thorough. Dr. Bill took his time evaluating my pain, asking questions, and providing suggestions for my treatment. I very much enjoy coming here and am thankful for Dr. Bill and Dr. Mike’s professionalism 🙂
Awesome 👏 felt immediate difference Staff great and friendly- thorough exam and treatment.
I always get great results from the professional and helpful staff. The chiropractic care has been instrumental in my active lifestyle.
I’ve been to Hudson Family on and off for the past 2 years. Bill is the best. He’s truly excellent, a consummate professional, empathetic, and so friendly. I appreciate that my appointments are always on-time – within :30, I’m walking out feeling so much better.
