Setting goals is key to physical therapy success
Orlando Health
If you're recovering from injury, illness or surgery, a physical therapist can help you regain your strength, range of motion and functional mobility. Setting goals is one of the most important parts of your rehabilitation program.
Before you begin physical therapy, give some thought to what activities are most important to you and what you want to accomplish by the end of your program. This can help you set goals to work toward returning to the activities that matter to you.
