Followed by reassessing the issue to see the progression. To then be able to be given exercises and stretches in a controlled way to help improve muscle strength. The stretch and exercise program will be implemented in 3 phases. Each phase will help increase strength within the muscles. The first phase is the beginning. It is the first step in beginning to use exercises and stretches to assist and progress the client towards recovery and increasing muscle strength. Second phase is where the stretches and exercises begin to get a bit hard to continue to increase the muscles strength. To move to the second phase there should be no pain when attempting the exercises/ stretches in phase one. Phase 3 is the final phase and this is where progression continues. The exercises or stretches are harder again and still need to be done carefully and without pain. Once the client has reached this phase they should be able to then go back to their sports, or other daily activities. Book your appointment here: https://sandrapeggmyotherapy.cliniko.com/bookings
