Define Boundaries to Advance Recovery
Physical therapists play a crucial role in defining safe parameters for rehabilitation by identifying limits within which patients can operate without risk of injury. Through a testing battery, therapists determine the maximum load tolerable for a patient, based on responsiveness like pain, swelling, or healing capacity. Initially, they create a protective 'box' around these limits, guiding other healthcare providers, such as strength coaches, on what to avoid during training. As patients progress in their recovery, the defined boundaries become more flexible, allowing for increased activity within those limits. This collaborative approach, grounded in feedback and professional expertise, helps stimulate healing and enhances recovery outcomes.
