No. You can choose to do just the self test, but to really do a good assessment you can do the self and exercise test. If you can find someone who can do the functional muscle test, that will help further determine any dysfunctions. |

Will these exercises fix or cure my injury? |

Depends on the severity of the injury. For simple non-complex problems sprain/strain injuries, the functional rehabilitative exercises will be very beneficial. For complex muscle, joint, and nerve injuries described in chapter one, you may need specific treatment outlined at the end of chapter 2. |

Does high risk mean that I will get injured if I do an exercise that is high risk? |
|
In Chapter 4, the risk benefit ratio analysis, does high risk mean that I will get injured if I do an exercise that is high risk? No. It means that the potential of injury is higher then other techniques, but doesn’t mean you will get injured. Due to conditioning, experience or body type, you can do high risk exercise techniques and not sustain an injury. |
