Three things to do between physiotherapy sessions
Recovery doesn't end when the session does. Here are three things every home-visit patient can do between sessions:
1. Keep moving, gently
- Short walks beat long bed rest for most musculoskeletal pain
- Stop at pain, not at fatigue
2. Heat before, ice after ——— when it's right
- Heat relaxes tight muscles before activity
- Ice calms acute inflammation after
3. Sleep is treatment
- Position pillows to keep the spine neutral
- Consistency matters more than the perfect position
