When we see patients at Bridge to Health we invariably give home exercises designed to work synergistically with hands-on treatment, and from time to time someone will ask how long they need to keep up with the exercises. The answer I give is often one they do not want to hear. What I tell the [...]

Sometimes patients come for treatment for an apparent hamstring or calf strain when persistent massage and/or stretching has not helped.
