Load management is a fundamental component of physiotherapy, whether the goal is rehabilitation after injury, management of persistent conditions, or performance development. However, load cannot be reduced to repetitions or external resistance alone. Safe and effective progression requires a nuanced understanding of tissue tolerance, cumulative stress, and the individual characteristics of the patient.

All content on PhysioDock is free – but it costs to keep it running.
PhysioDock is built to be an open and accessible platform for physiotherapists, students, and patients alike. Here you’ll find articles, measurement tools, exercise libraries, diagnostic resources, and professional materials – all completely free.
Behind the scenes, however, there are hundreds of hours of work: research, writing, development, design, maintenance, testing, and updates. We do this because we believe in open knowledge and better health information.
If you’d like to support our work and help us continue developing and improving PhysioDock, we truly appreciate everyone who:
– subscribes to a PhysioDock+ membership
– uses and recommends PhysioDock in their work or studies
– shares PhysioDock with others
Every contribution makes a difference – and helps us keep the platform open to everyone.
Thank you for supporting PhysioDock!
