He believes that through exercise, people will recover from their injuries faster.

If you have ever broke a bone in your body and were forced to wear a cast, you understand how much more immobile you are after the cast is removed. Not moving your wrist, arm, or leg for an extended period of time weakens the muscles, and makes it painful to perform normal tasks you could do before the injury. This is why one of the first things physical therapists do is prepare you for mobilization; they want to get the blood flow back to normal in the affected area in order to strengthen the muscle and return it to normal. Physical therapy is all about exercise and movement, which is why many professionals believe that exercise can help prevent injury as well. The stronger your muscles are, the more support your body has when sustaining damage.
