Physical therapy increases pain?
Q. If a muscle is weak and you exercise it, it should feel better correct? What if the person feels worse? What if even gentle movements cause excruciating pains? Could these be from a muscle problem?
A. When exercise and/or gentle movements under the guidance of a physical therapist, personal trainer, or other rehabilitation specialist cause significant pain or make the person worse, I would be thinking this person has a ligament problem and that ligament problem will respond very well to Prolotherapy! Ligament tension can increase drastically with gentle movements especially if the ligament is torn or injured. Answered By Ross Hauser, M.D
