Have you been told that exercise is the best way to recover from your injury
Are you unsure about how much exercise you can perform during your rehabilitation 
Do you experience pain with rehabilitative exercises

Exercise is a crucial component of rehabilitation for all injuries. The goal of exercise is to load tendons to help change mechanical properties, increase muscle strength and improve motor control which leads to increased movement and reduced pain in the damaged tendon and muscle. 

It is important to identify the suitable types of exercises during the rehabilitation phase so that you optimally strengthen the injured tendons and muscles without increased risk of further injury. All exercises should be performed comfortably and without pain on the injured area.

The common misconception that “No pain, No gain!” is a measure of an effective exercise program tend to result in overloading the tendons and muscles leading to further damage, poor healing and weakening of muscles and tendons. If an exercise cannot be performed pain free, then it is an indication that the exercise needs to be modified or the intensity and frequency needs to be modified to allow adequate rest periods for the damaged muscle and tendon to recover.
