✨ Healing in motion! ✨

While some parts of physiotherapy can be uncomfortable, what is more important is explaining to your therapist what you are feeling. Remember- your physio CANNOT feel YOUR pain!!! Try talking with your physio about your pain tolerance and what is comfortable for you and what is unpleasant. Remember you both are a team working towards the same goal!! 💪 Let’s restore safe function and keep moving forward! 🚀
