The length of rest you need after physiotherapy depends on your individual condition, the type of treatment you received, and your overall health.
Your physiotherapist will advise you on the best course of action based on your specific needs. They may recommend:
- Rest for a few days: This is common after treatments like manual therapy or soft tissue mobilization.
- Rest for a week or more: This may be necessary after more intense treatments like surgery or joint injections.
- Gradual return to activity: You may need to slowly increase your activity levels over a period of days or weeks.
It's important to follow your physiotherapist's instructions carefully to ensure a full recovery. They may recommend specific exercises to help you regain strength and mobility.
If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the activity and consult your physiotherapist.
