The treatment we do in the office is always enhanced by doing some kind of home rehab.
Whether it’s core strengthening, low back stability training, or strengthening of your deep neck muscles, most patients in my office are prescribed corrective exercises to help them heal faster and more fully.
I find that the best way to assess what the most effective exercises are for your particular condition is to do a very careful movement assessment when we do our initial exam. We have to find out what’s weak or tight or out of balance for you. Everyone is different. There are no cookie cutter recipes for exercise rehab.
I always try to give you as few exercises to do at home as possible. Overwhelm will just get in the way of you doing what you need to do.
You won’t be asked to remember a bunch of exercises that we just go over in the office.
I use an online library of exercise videos to prescribe corrective exercises to patients. You’ll receive a link in an email, set up a password, and then have access to short videos accompanied by written descriptions for all of your specific exercises. You won’t have to remember detail from a conversation in the office and I won’t give you old handouts to sit in a pile in your house.
As you progress or if your goals change, we’ll modify your set of exercises and we’ll use this as our ongoing collection of rehab exercises.

Dr. Charno is amazing. I feel like I should wait to review until I have had more than one appointment, but as someone who has had almost 40 years of chiropractic care, I know when I have found someone great. Dr. Charno is not only knowledgeable, experienced and talented, but has a powerful healing demeanor. I have seen countless doctors for my MS, but after one session I feel better than I have in years.

A talented healer, and a great listener. I've known Dr. Charno for decades, and am thrilled that he has relocated his practice to the Mid-Hudson Valley. He treated me yesterday using Graston technique, and it really helped sooth and release a nagging muscle injury. His practice is part of the lovely Izlind Wellness Center in Rhinebeck.

Dr. Charno is hands down the best chiropractor I’ve been to. He genuinely cares about his patients and takes extra time to ask questions, understand pain, and develop action plans to relieve symptoms. He’s open minded and looks at issues from all angles, performing informed adjustments and following up with workouts and stretches to reinforce them. He is personable, caring, and an all-around wonderful doctor. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Charno has literally gotten me through months of quarantine. His online strength training classes have me stronger and healthier than I was six months ago. When it became possible, I began seeing him in his office and found a comprehensive and holistic approach to chiropractic. His treatment is state of the art and includes specific exercises to reinforce the adjustment. He always follows up with online exercise reminder videos. Bottom line is that Dr. Charno is a caring, effective, healer.

I have stated to Dr. Charno that prehab for joint replacement should indicate strength training just as rehab requires physical therapy. Dr. Charno has the expertise of Chiropractic and sports injuries. I am looking forward to becoming a Dr. Charno Chiropractor patient!

I have MS, scoliosis, and a lot of wear and tear from being a gymnastics coach for many years. Needless to say, I have a lot of issues. Dr. Charno has not only met my challenges with ease, but has changed my life. Because of him I am no longer in constant pain. I even stopped having to use a cane since seeing him regularly. If I ever have to move, I hope it is commutable to Rhinebeck so that I can forever see Dr. Russell Charno for chiropractic care.

I suffered years of degenerating function. One visit to Russell Charno, DC, restored at least 70% of my mobility. Unlike other chiropractic offices, this doc only sees one patient at a time. My appointments are always intensive, more than an hour and 100% hands-on. I have experienced ongoing improvement. I now take CrossFit classes because I have my mobility back.
