A problem that I've seen is that corrective exercise used in the past are not reapplied when the same pain returns. Patients come to my clinics and I ask them if they remember their exercises from before and they say yes. I'll ask if they were progressed to warm up/movement prep exercises or maintenance exercises and I'll often get a yes. I'll then ask if they are still using any of the previously used exercises and I'll get the "avoid eye contact" response.
SGT (Join to see) I hear the voice activated machines now change channels so that helps me to avoid using my fingers to change channels. I had a rough PowerPoint incident....
In all seriousness I use rubber bands (the big ones) sometimes and rollers to work out some kinks in my shoulder/neck.

Here are some good ankle ones I've used in the past after a grade II ankle sprain. The first one (ABCs) is great for increasing overall ankle mobility.

Moral of the story, do not skip out on or stop once you think you are fully healed. Keep doing your exercises and you will not have an issue.
This is almost a complex problem that involves: sports medicine, the difference between a military member and professional athlete, the mission of the Army Medical Department, the ability of the AMEDD to use/apply principles of sports medicine, big army leadership issues for METL training, big army leadership for execution of FM 7-22 and I have not even addressed the "quality" of physical therapy interventions and should they address individuals one at a time or should they be population based interventions IOT reach across 500k Soldiers?
You choose where to start and I'll provide my opinions.
