Healing occurs through a bridge of tissue when the wound separation is small. This is healing by primary intention. Healing by secondary intention occurs by filling in the wound with new tissue from
the sides and bottom when the separation is large.Exist three phases of healing: inflammation, proliferation, remodeling.
The problem is how and when we start the therapeutic exercises in healing? It need to understand the base of healing and application of therapeutic exercise components must to be carefully coordinated with the phases of healing. Therapeutic exercise must be administered appropriately without causing harm to the healing tissue if the rehabilitation program is to be successful. It is important to use exercises carefully and watch for adverse effects from the exercises.
