Whether your problem is caused from injury or from inflammation or degeneration, the result is often pain, stiffness and limitation of function, or all of these. The length of time that you are impaired can vary from a few days to months or even years depending on the severity of your condition. Fortunately, people have the ability to heal and repair.

Exercise has been proven to help this recovery process. By stretching and moving a body segment throughout its range of motion, all structures in that area are affected in a positive way: muscles, joints, ligaments, blood supply and nerves. Many factors such as disease, disuse and immobilization may result in muscle weakness. An appropriate strengthening program is an integral part of your recovery if your goal is to regain overall physical function.

The best way to prevent injury is by having strong, flexible muscles and joints that resist strain and injury. Below are some exercises that may help you prevent or recover from impairments.

NOTE: We recommend avoiding any exercise or stretch that causes pain. It is important to visit with your physician to determine if these exercises are appropriate for your specific injury. We understand that exercise is a valuable tool to a healthy lifestyle, but may be inappropriate for some injuries. If you diagnose or treat yourself, you assume the responsibility for your actions.
