When your knee, ankle, or shoulder starts aching, resting it can feel sensible. But complete avoidance is not always the answer.
When we continually remove load, our tolerance to that load can reduce. Activities that once felt manageable may start to feel more challenging, and the nervous system can become increasingly protective around movement.
The goal of rehab is therefore not simply to rest until everything feels perfect.
It is to gradually rebuild what the knee can tolerate.
