Bone resorption and formation occur with two bone cells: osteoblasts and osteoclasts (Rucci 2008, p. 49). Osteoblasts are the cells that participate in the secretion of organic and non-organic components of bone and allow the formation of new bone during the bone remodeling phase. Osteoclasts are the bone cells that inhibit the formation of new bone. bone and allows the healing process of the bone to occur (Porth 2012, pp. 1086 - 1087). Complications that may arise during the remodeling and healing phase are bone loss and other skeletal disorders may occur, such as osteoporosis, and there may be a deficit in the connection of marrow function (Rucci 2008, p. 49). Soft tissue injuries refer to injuries that affect the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tissues, blood vessels, cartilage and tendons. When soft tissue injury occurs, the human body is unable to function and work accurately to protect and maintain the structure of other body systems (Sports Medicine Australia 2015). Most soft tissue injuries are acute and result from a traumatic event that has occurred and the body's tissues are unable to withstand the additional stress the tissues are subjected to (Sports Medicine Australia
