    • Monitoring progress, modifying exercises as needed, and helping patients regain functional abilities.

  7. Patient Education and Self-Management

    • Teaching patients exercises they can do independently at home to continue their recovery and prevent further injury.
    • Providing advice on posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle changes to improve physical health and prevent recurrence of injury.
