Recovery should connect to a meaningful activity
Goals may involve walking, stairs, work, sleep, household tasks, sport, confidence, or independence. A useful plan connects clinical findings to the activity a person needs to regain or manage.
Progress is reviewed, not assumed
Activity and exercise are commonly adjusted according to symptoms, tolerance, healing guidance, function, and clinical response. Progress is not always linear, and recommendations may need to change.
Maintenance supports continued movement
A maintenance plan may include practical activity targets, strength or mobility work, pacing, self-monitoring, and guidance about when to seek review. The appropriate approach is individual.
Important: Do not begin or progress an exercise programme solely from this article when medical or clinical guidance is required.
