Frequently Asked Questions

About rehab loading and pain scaling

What pain is acceptable?

Generally ≤3/10 during and after, and no next‑day flare beyond baseline.

How often should I progress?

Increase one variable (load, reps, sets) every 1–2 weeks if symptoms are stable.

Tempo recommendations?

Use slow eccentric (2–3 s) early; normalize as tolerance improves.

When to deload?

If pain or fatigue accumulates, reduce volume by ~30% for 1 week.

Is failure training appropriate?

Avoid true failure in rehab; stop with 2–3 reps in reserve.

How to choose exercises?

Start with simple, pain‑free patterns and progress to functional tasks.

Warm‑up guidance?

5–10 minutes of light aerobic and mobility primes tissue.

How to manage swelling?

Prioritize range of motion and compression/elevation; limit heavy loading.

What if pain spikes next day?

Return to last tolerable step and progress more slowly.
