How it works
Recommendations follow the pain-monitoring and load-progression rules used in physiotherapy: progress when effort is moderate and pain stays low, hold when pain rises slightly, reduce when pain exceeds 5 out of 10 or is worse the next morning.

Physiotherapy treatment
Training recovery planning is the core of physiotherapy for exercise recovery. After an assessment, your physiotherapist sets a plan built around alternating muscle groups and graded loading, progressed as your results improve. Hands-on treatment, pain relief and education are added where they help.
