Many aches and pains can be prevented or treated by having strong muscles. If your muscles are strong, they can protect your joints and keep your posture aligned properly. Proper posture will limit any abnormal strain on your joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and bones.
If you have had an injury to your bones, muscles, or structures in and around your joints, physical therapists can help teach you what strengthening exercises are helpful and what exercises are harmful. They can monitor your exercises when you first start and then make sure that other problems do not develop. Physical therapists can also teach you when to progress or change your exercises. |
