REHABILITATION & CONDITIONING
Rehabilitation restores full flexibility, strength, endurance and motion to an injured athlete. Conditioning develops these in a new athlete. Rehabilitation and conditioning of a particular body part should be accompanied by exercise of the rest of the body, especially the cardiovascular-pulmonary system. If injured, begin to exercise the uninjured parts as soon and as actively as your injury allows.
The frequency, duration, length of exercises and weights recommended in this section are averages and should not replace the instructions of your doctor or trainer. You must not begin rehabilitation exercises following any serious injury, such as fracture, dislocation, or 2nd- or 3rd-degree sprain, until you have clearance from your doctor. Beginning too soon may cause permanent damage or retard full recovery.
