Therapeutic exercise and Neuromuscular Re-education seeks to accomplish the following goals:

• Enable ambulation
• Release contracted muscles, tendons, and fascia
• Mobilize joints
• Improve circulation
• Improve respiratory capacity
• Improve coordination
• Reduce rigidity
• Improve balance
• Promote relaxation
• Improve muscle strength and, if possible, achieve and maintain maximal voluntary contractile force (MVC)
• Improve exercise performance and functional capacity (endurance)

Use of Ice Therapy: Use Ice therapy after muscle injury to reduce swelling and muscle relaxation.

Use of Heat Therapy: The use of heat therapy causes the injured muscles to relax by opening the capillaries and improving circulation to the area.
