How Does PT Help Nervy Pain?

The goal of these exercises is to help strengthen and shorten the weaker muscles, which allows the bones they are attached to move closer together. And since all muscles have an equal and opposite muscle, as this muscle shortens, there is another muscle that needs to be lengthening at the same time.

Now, if your physical therapist is correct, then the muscle that is lengthening is also the same muscle compressing on the nerve and causing your pain. #short
