Van Meter Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is where short-term improvement becomes long-term progress. Once mobility and pain are addressed, the next step is restoring strength, stability, and proper movement patterns. This prevents problems from returning and helps your body handle the demands of daily life, work, and sport.

At Van Meter Health, rehabilitation isn’t a generic list of exercises. Your program is built around how your body moves — your strengths, weaknesses, and the specific mechanics behind your pain or limitations. Every session is individualized and based on modern movement systems, neuromuscular re-education, and functional strength progressions.
