Therapeutic Exercises: directed at the restoration of function and mobility. Restores muscle tone, decreases fibrotic scar tissue, increases elasticity and muscle strength. Increases range of motion, retrains damaged muscles and helps strength spinal, and extremities integrity. The ultimate goal of therapeutic exercise is to return the injured participant to pain-free and fully functional activity. For this to be accomplished, attention must focus on modulating pain and restoring normal joint range of motion, kinematics, flexibility, muscular strength, endurance, coordination, and power. Furthermore, cardiovascular endurance and strength must be maintained in the unaffected limbs.
