⁣
Starting with a more manageable version of your previous routine can give you a better chance to rebuild gradually. ⁣
⁣
If you’re unsure how to return to activity, a physical therapist at STAR Physical Therapy can help you develop a plan that fits where you are now.

A treatment plan shouldn't feel like it could have been handed to anyone. ⁣
⁣
Your daily routine, current abilities, physical demands, and personal goals all influence what makes sense for you. Physical therapy takes those individual factors into account when deciding where to begin and how to progress. ⁣
⁣
That means the focus can stay on the things you actually want or need to do in your own life.
