Pain causes muscles to stay tight, sppasm, and contract resulting in loss of mobility and structural stability. Inflammation is the body’s chemical reaction to damaged cells. Swelling exerts pressure on surrounding tissues and causes further pain while constricting blood flow to adjacent healthy tissues. You must achieve pain free mobility before moving to PHASE II.
PHASE II
2-5 weeks of therapy in PHASE II will define and address the mechanical cause of your injury. The focus of treatment will improve your structural mechanics and function to improve your range of motion and and increase your strength
At home rehabilitation prescription exercise and modalities are clearly defined and explained. You must achieve pain free mobility before moving to PHASE III.
PHASE III
4 – 6 WEEKS focus on re-strengthen and re-condition weak muscles and re-aligning anatomical structure.
In PHASE III, you are building and strengthening bone and muscle, following mandatory home rehabilitation exercise prescription which may include icing.
