The technique incorporates the use of contralateral exercises to the unaffected side to promote therapeutic results in the affected side.17 Although TMR® research is still in its infancy, some researchers have provided insight into the positive effects of TMR® on shoulder pain, range of motion, and muscle re- education, while reducing rehabilitation session duration.20-23 This case study includes the outcomes of a rehabilitation protocol in which a patient was treated with TMR® following ACL reconstruction surgery to restore normal knee range of motion.	cache/clinat-72.pdf	txt/clinat-72.txt
