Rehabilitation differs from ordinary exercise through clinical adaptation, functional goals and a planned return to everyday activity.

Physiotherapists can provide safe and targeted treatment even when symptoms cannot be reliably linked to one specific diagnosis

Good function means managing meaningful activities in a safe, sustainable and individually adapted way.

Physiotherapists assess the whole of daily life because work, sleep, activity, and personal circumstances influence both function and rehabilitation.

Physiotherapists must know when an exercise should continue, be adjusted, or be stopped because of symptoms, control, or safety.

Exercise as treatment requires more than following a fixed list of exercises and must be adapted to loading, function, and the patient’s goals.

Rehabilitation rarely progresses in a straight line, and fluctuations in symptoms and capacity are often a normal part of recovery.
