When a person injures themselves and sees a medical doctor, in most cases the M.D. first gives them anti-inflammatory drugs and if that doesn't work, the MD sends them to physical therapy. Exercise is great for your body and health but there is a difference between stretching and strengthening.
Sometimes Exercise Therapy is done too soon:
Depending on the injury, there may be numerous areas of scar tissue that has to be alleviated in order for the muscles to function properly without further injury. If exercise is done too soon, it may only add to the problem. After most accidents or sport injuries, the chances of scar tissue forming is very high. This needs to be addressed before building your muscles.
Chiropractic care along with Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy (Graston Technique) is great at getting rid of scar tissue quickly and easily. It is used by trainers and athletes around the world. After the scar tissue has been addressed, it must be determined whether stretching or strengthening is needed.
Stretching your muscles is key before starting any exercise program. You don't want to start exercising a muscle that is already stiff and tight. That will increase the chance of a further tear or injury. After a few bouts of stretching, you will become more flexible and are now ready to start an exercise program.
