  4. It is the application of medical science effective prevention, therapy and rehabilitation measures as well as, sensible and scientific improvements of performing capabilities in stages, in all age groups.
  5. P = Prevention, R = Rest, I = Ice, C = Compression, E = Elevation, R = Rehabilitation.
