1.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/2015 - "This review has found very low quality but consistent evidence that exercise therapy for PFPS may result in clinically important reduction in pain and improvement in functional ability, as well as enhancing long-term recovery. " 07/01/2015 - "In regards to pain and physical function, the three studies demonstrated significant improvement in pain and two of them showed increased physical function following exercise therapy compared to controls. " 10/01/2011 - "Also, there was a substantial difference between the groups in VAS scores (P = 0.00) which showed significant pain reduction in group I. This study indicates that LLLT combined exercise is more effective than exercise therapy alone in relieving pain and in improving the shoulder ROM in patients with subacromial syndrome." 01/01/2007 - "One study (n=50) reported a significant improvement in pain in LLLT group versus exercise therapy. " 06/01/2014 - "A combined protocol including exercise therapy and passive mobilization was beneficial for patients with OA of the knee complaining of pain, decreased extension ROM and decreased limited abilities. "
2.	Low Back Pain (Lumbago) 10/02/2007 - "Therapies with good evidence of moderate efficacy for chronic or subacute low back pain are cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise, spinal manipulation, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation. " 10/02/2007 - "We found good evidence that cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise, spinal manipulation, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation are all moderately effective for chronic or subacute (>4 weeks' duration) low back pain. " 08/01/2006 - "Exercise therapy has limited value for acute low back pain, but strong evidence supports exercise therapy in the management of chronic low back pain. " 03/15/2003 - "Improvements were found in both intervention groups, but manual therapy showed significantly greater improvement than exercise therapy in patients with chronic low back pain. " 11/01/2000 - "There is strong evidence that exercise therapy is not more effective for acute low back pain than inactive or other active treatments with which it has been compared. "
3.	Intermittent Claudication 01/01/2005 - "Exercise therapy (ET) is the main conservative and proven effective treatment of patients with intermittent claudication. " 08/01/2014 - "Supervised exercise therapy for intermittent claudication is superior to all other forms of exercise therapy. " 01/01/1995 - "Because of the efficacy of this treatment, in addition to the low associated morbidity, exercise therapy is recommended as a major treatment option for persons with intermittent claudication due to PAD." 06/01/2008 - "Our findings confirm that a short supervised exercise therapy in the form of walking out over pain threshold is effective in maximizing the walking time of the majority of patients with intermittent claudication, independently of demographic data and their associated cardiac risk factors or comorbidities. " 06/01/2007 - "Supervised exercise therapy for intermittent claudication in a community-based setting is as effective as clinic-based."
4.	Fatigue 09/01/2003 - "Fatigue improved significantly on one out of three measures after exercise therapy and there was a trend for fatigue to improve on all measures after exercise. " 06/16/2015 - "Counseling therapies and graded exercise therapy compared with no treatment, relaxation, or support improved fatigue, function, global improvement, and work impairment in some trials; counseling therapies also improved quality of life (low to moderate strength of evidence). " 09/01/2009 - "Although the etiology of fatigue related to FSS remains unclear, accumulating evidence has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy and graded exercise therapy are effective for treating fatigue in patients with CFS. " 07/01/2010 - "Improvement in post-exercise acid recovery through exercise therapy should be possible in PBC patients and could be a novel approach to peripheral fatigue treatment." 01/01/2015 - "We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of exercise therapy compared to no exercise therapy or other interventions for adults with MS that included subjective fatigue as an outcome. "
5.	Knee Osteoarthritis 06/01/2015 - "Improvement in upper leg muscle strength underlies beneficial effects of exercise therapy in knee osteoarthritis: secondary analysis from a randomised controlled trial." 11/01/2013 - "There are numerous reports and evidences to suggest that exercise therapy is effective for knee osteoarthritis (knee OA). " 01/01/2013 - "Although exercise therapy has been found to be effective in knee osteoarthritis, the knowledge of the underlying mechanisms for why exercise works is lacking. " 03/01/2007 - "Exercise therapy is effective in improving symptoms of knee osteoarthritis, but its effect on structural change remains unclear. " 01/01/2016 - "Effects of exercise therapy on walking ability in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials."
