Document Summary
Body goes through a predictable sequence of healing. Our treatment/modality choice will be dependent on the phase of healing. Minimal ability to speed up this process, but interfering with this sequence will slow both recovery and return to sport! Phase 2 3 weeks to 6 weeks. Phase 3 3 weeks to 2 - 3 years. What will these people present with: red, hot tenderness, swollen and painful (loss of function) Primary: damage at time of injury (immediate irreversible) Proliferative and regenerative healing leading to scar formation and repair of injured tissue. Fibroplasia begins within the first few days and the inflammatory signs should be decreased: the body will lay things down really thin fibers to cover the gap. What does our person look like now: feel better but the body is just outing tissue down, less red, swollen and hot, will injure again if left to heal. Need to increase o2 and blood flow!
