Answers:
Degenerative changes occur in connective tissues when they are immobilized.. However, much of this can be reversed with the appropriate exercise.. You might not get back what you would have had to gone to PT right away, but you can probably attain a very functional amount of strength and movement..
However, most 14 year olds probably get a lot of normal movement and exercise even without PT......there's a good chance you recovered much of your decificits on your own..Health Question & Answer

Home exercise program is part of most PT treatments, if you do the exercises it'll get stronger and the pain will probably go away.. That's why they give you the exercises in the first place..Health Question & Answer
