Returning to movement after injury requires care. Here's how RiseWell can help.
Work with Professionals
Your physical therapist or doctor should guide recovery. RiseWell supplements but doesn't replace their guidance.
Setting Injury Status
1. Profile > Preferences > Physical Considerations
2. Select your injury type/area
3. Content filters for safety
Safe Content
During recovery, focus on:
- Unaffected body parts
- Gentle flexibility work
- Mind-focused activities
- Gradual progression
What to Avoid
Skip anything that:
- Involves injured area (unless cleared)
- Causes pain
- Risks re-injury
- Goes beyond rehab guidelines
Mental Wellness During Recovery
Injury affects mood:
- Meditation for patience
- Self-compassion practices
- Stress management
- Staying positive while healing
Gradual Return
When cleared to resume:
- Start with easiest content
- Progress very slowly
- Listen to your body
- Stop if pain returns
- Update preferences as you heal
Modifying Activities
Many activities can be modified:
- Standing instead of lying
- Reduced range of motion
- Lower intensity versions
- Alternative exercises
