Too often a patient's busy schedule precludes him or her from seeking guidance on exercise from a professional, such as a physical or occupational therapist. In other instances, the patient has sought this treatment, and it is now time to be exercising independently"-- Provided by publisher « Rehabilitation exercises are one of the cruxes of treating musculoskeletal and sports injuries and they are generally initiated soon after rest, medications, and modalities have been utilized.
