Rehabilitation Exercise
Rehabilitation exercise translates examination findings into practical movement. The goal is to improve capacity for daily tasks, work, or sport through exercises selected for the patient, not a generic routine.

Expectations
What happens afterward
Exercises should create an appropriate challenge without ignoring concerning symptoms. Quality and consistency matter more than an oversized exercise list. Your program may change as your function improves.
Contact the office if symptoms change unexpectedly or you are unsure whether a reaction is normal. Emergency symptoms should be evaluated through urgent or emergency medical care.
