Your treatment plan may progress through several stages:

- Helping reduce the risk of reinjury
Rehabilitation plans are modified as you improve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is rehabilitation only for athletes?
No. Rehabilitation can benefit anyone who has difficulty moving or completing daily activities because of pain, weakness, stiffness, or injury.
How long does physical rehabilitation take?
Recovery timelines depend on the type and severity of the injury, how long symptoms have been present, and how consistently the treatment plan is followed.
Will I receive exercises to do at home?
Home exercises may be recommended to reinforce the progress made during appointments. Your provider will explain how to perform them correctly.
Is rehabilitation painful?
Some exercises may feel challenging, but treatment should not create severe or worsening pain. Communicate any discomfort so your program can be adjusted.
