The Micro Weight System -- Rehabilitation

Not only is the Micro Weight System beneficial to the uninjured person, it can also be a very beneficial part of a rehabilitation program. A very important factor in rehabilitation is that the ligaments heal and rebuild much slower than the tendons. The tendons rebuild much slower than the muscles. When we are talking about rebuilding damaged ligaments, tendons, and muscles we have to use very small weight increases. Using weight increases that are too large could permanently injure the damaged tissue. This is where the Micro Weight system can help. Working with the Micro Weight system we can start with very small weight increases to rebuild and strengthen the damaged tissue.

The first weight increase could be as small as 1/4-oz. As the damaged tissue rebuilds itself and gets stronger the weight will become easier. It would now be time to increase the weight to continue to stimulate growth in the damaged tissue. Our increase would now change from 1/4oz to 1/2oz. As the damaged tissue rebuilds itself and grows in strength, small increment adjustments in the weight increases will be made until the perfect weight increase is found. The perfect weight increase is where the damaged tissue can rebuild and strengthen itself while the weight training exercise remains easy. The most important factor being that we do not have to worry about re-injuring the damaged tissue.

We will continue with the weight increasing until the tissue is fully repaired, until there is full range of motion, and until the strength is equal on both sides of the body. The Micro Weight system can make achieving all of this possible, as it can help in rebuilding damaged tissue.
