3-Minute Physical Therapy Plan

Understanding when your pain lessens helps us learn about moments that might bring relief. It can also show us what activities or positions might help you feel better.

Pain Locality — Does your pain occur only above the knee? Above the waist?

Knowing where your pain is located helps us understand which areas might need more help and attention.

Painful Positions — Does your pain get worse from sitting, or standing up after sitting?

Certain movements or positions can sometimes make pain stronger. Learning which activities worsen your pain helps us figure out how to make you more comfortable.

Understanding how your pain changes throughout the day helps us create a plan that matches your daily needs.

Painful Movements — Does bending over make your pain worse?

Certain activities might make your pain stronger. Understanding these movements helps us guide you in avoiding activities that could increase your discomfort.

Painless Movements — Does moving around make your pain subside?

Movement sometimes eases pain, so learning how different activities affect you helps us identify what might work best for you.

Different activities might affect pain differently. Knowing which activities provide relief helps us plan exercises that could be beneficial.

Relief Positions — Does lying on your stomach help your pain, either immediately or eventually?

Certain positions might offer relief, and recognizing these positions guides us in finding ways to help ease your pain.

Pain Recurrence — Have you had this pain several times in the past few months?

Understanding your past experiences with pain helps us plan treatments tailored to your history.

Understanding mobility limitations helps determine if there are specific directions or movements causing pain and guides us in designing appropriate exercises or treatments to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.

Pain Patterns — Are you comfortable and pain-free in between painful episodes?

Knowing if you're pain-free between episodes helps us understand the overall impact of your pain on your daily life.

Pain Connections — Does one area of pain stop sometimes, even if others still hurt?

Some pain areas are linked. Leg pain linked to back discomfort, for example, can provide important clues about your condition and how we might address it.
