Therapeutic exercise 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).

One of the most important is therapeutic stretching. It is important to prevent scar tissue and adhesion formation following injury. Stretching is most effective when initiated early on in the treatment plan before scar tissues become permanent. Maintaining a regular stretching program once the rehabilitation stage of treatment has been completed will help keep tissues flexible and loose, increasing mobility and preventing the development of new injuries.

Throughout your care, Dr. Vega will perform certain muscle tests. You will be asked to hold certain positions and resist the force of the doctor.
