4. "Avoid exercises during this time.".

Feedback
1. Pain control will be important when doing the exercises and should be addressed prior to the activity.
2. Isometrics can increase the pain. Non-weight-bearing exercises would be a better choice for the child.
3. Pain medication should be provided to aid in the child getting the most out of the therapy.
4. Exercising will be important to maintain as high of a function as possible.
