Document Summary
Healing is a continuum (doesn"t occur in discrete stages) Causes a chemical response: damaged tissue releases chemicals (histamine, bradykinin and prostaglandin) in the area surrounding it, this signals the healing process. Wbc and lymphatic system: wbc and the lymphatic system phagocytizes the area (removes old, damaged tissue), quick process but needs to be clinically facilitated (ex. massage techniques) Angiogenesis: new tissue needs new blood supply, timeline for this stage is variable (starts after 48 hrs and can last for 3-6 weeks depending on damage) Wound contraction reduce the gap: myofibroblasts have muscular/contractile capacity, line the edge of the damaged tissue and pulls the tissue together, occurs at the beginning of the remodeling phase. Timeline: occurs at week 3 and can last up to 2 years post-injury, can continue to do regular activities but won"t have 100% strength (which we don"t use regularly anyways) Four pillars of our programs: range of motion (rom, resistance exercise, neuromuscular communication, pain & other symptoms.
