If you have had an injury or illness and have lost ROM, physical therapists can help to increase your range so that you can function comfortably again. There are many ways to perform ROM exercises so that they are suited to the task that you want to regain.
Certain ROM exercises are not good for certain medical conditions and can actually cause an injury. It is important to have a physical therapist teach you the appropriate ROM exercises for you, as an individual. Physical therapists will perform a full assessment that will give them information about you and your medical condition. They can then make ROM exercises that are safe and healthy for you.
