The key approaches of musculoskeletal rehabilitation used in NRF are:
Pain management: using different electrotherapeutic modalities.
Joint Mobilization: which restores the biomechanics of the joints.
Neural mobilization: to restore the flexibility of nerves and reduce the neural symptoms.
Flexibility training: by stretching, rotation exercises, hydrotherapy, aerobic exercises, etc.
Strength training: manual resistance, free weights, weight cuffs, resistive training with Thera-band, Thera-tubes, dumbbells, etc.
Functional training: exercises performed by incorporating activities of daily living in order to rehabilitate the individuals back in their communities.
