Frequently asked questions
Should I exercise if I have pain?
Some mild, short-lived discomfort can be normal in rehabilitation, but exercise should be scaled around your symptoms. Your physiotherapist will explain acceptable limits.
How long before exercise therapy works?
Many people notice better confidence and movement within weeks. Strength and endurance changes usually build over a structured period of several weeks to months.
