Therapeutic modalities and medications are used to create an optimal environment for injury repair by limiting the inflammatory process and breaking the pain-spasm cycle. Use of any modality depends on the supervising physician's exercise prescription, as well as the injury site, and type and severity of injury. In some cases, a modality may be indicated and contraindicated for the same condition.

The body's first response to an injury is inflammation.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title It's main function is to defend the body against harmful substances, dispose of dead or dying tissue and to promote the renewal of normal tissue.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title The goal for treatment during this phase is to provide a healty environment for new tissue regeneration and formation, and to prevent prolonged inflammation and disruption of new blood vessel and collagen production.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation[edit | edit source]

Physical Therapy [edit | edit source]
Therapeutic modalities and medications are used to create an optimal environment for injury repair by limiting the inflammatory process and breaking the pain-spasm cycle. Use of any modality depends on the supervising physician's exercise prescription, as well as the injury site, and type and severity of injury. In some cases, a modality may be indicated and contraindicated for the same condition. For example, thermotherapy (heat therapy) may be contraindicated for tendinitis during the initial phase of the exercise program.

Use a descriptive title
Despite the fact that rapid return to competition is crucial, rest is necessary to protect the damaged tissue from additional injury. Therefore, exercise involving the injured area is not recomended during this phase, although there are a few exceptions such as the tendinopathy protocols used to rehabilitate Achilles and patella tendon injuries.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

It is also important that the athlete understands the reasons for following a particular treatment regime or exercise program.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
