In fact, it may even make the pain worse. This is often because all the surrounding muscles and tissues of the neck and shoulders are also restricted or injured – but may not be exhibiting pain syndromes. These other soft-tissue structures could quite likely be the cause of the pain in your jaw! \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Our primary objective with rehabilitation is to increase muscular endurance and neurological motor control. With rehabilitation routines, we always work within a pain-free zone...essentially a zone of safety where you can bring your injured areas back to normal activity. You will find that the Beginner and Intermediate routines expect you to work within this pain-free rehabilitative zone. The Advanced routines will help to transition you into the Performance or Athletic arenas. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTHE IMPORTANCE OF THE KINETIC CHAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than working with only the single area of injury, the exercise routines in this book treat your body as a dynamic web of interconnected links – a \u003cstrong\u003ekinetic chain\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe exercise programs in the ‘Release Your Kinetic Chain’ books use step-by-step routines that take into consideration kinetic chain relationships, tissue interactions, core imbalances, elastic power, and aerobic training. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe strive to give you a balanced means of achieving a good strong body that is injury-free. Since injury or weakness in one area of your body always affects the function of numerous other related areas, we designed our routines to take into account direct muscular connections, muscle antagonists, fascial connections, as well as the fact that tissue restrictions often affect the primary mechanisms of energy storage and release. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWHAT'S DIFFERENT\u003c\/strong\u003e?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003eToo often, we find our patients and athletes jumping into the advanced, intensive stages of exercise before establishing needed ground work. This rushed approach often leads to more injuries and an accompanying lack of performance. The Release Your Kinetic Chain series of exercise books takes a functional approach to exercise. With this approach, we give you step-by-step recommendations to help you move through the rehabilitation phase of an exercise program to prepare you for the performance phase.    This book (and its sister books) have two basic objectives:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e  The first objective is to help you rehabilitate your body after an injury (or long period of inactivity) and prepare it for more intensive exercise programs.\u003cbr\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe second objective is to help you prepare your body so that it is ready for sport or athletic performance training. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur exercise routines always take into consideration a key fundamental aspect of good rehabilitation – Kinetic Chain Relationships.
