Who performs range of motion exercises?
Improve your flexibility and range of motion (helps prevent injuries) by doing strength exercises with a full range of motion, unless you are in rehabilitation. Rehab exercises are done to restore your full range of motion. It is a misconception that strength training makes your body's muscles tight and inflexible. This won't happen if you consistently improve your joints' range of motion and perform exercises with full range of motion. You can be strong and flexible. Doing regular stretching and flexibility exercises also improves your range of motion.

There are three types of range of motion exercises:Passive range of motion (or PROM) - Therapist or equipment moves the joint through the range of motion with no effort from the patient.Active assistive range of motion (or AAROM) - Patient uses the muscles surrounding the joint to perform the exercise but requires some help from the therapist or equipment (such as a strap).Active range of motion (or AROM) - Patient performs the exercise to move the joint without any assistance to the muscles surrounding the jointDevi C Khatiwada
