Use a recent baseline
Start with an activity you can currently do comfortably. Write down how long it takes and how you feel afterward. After injury, surgery or illness, ask the clinician managing your recovery which activities and limits apply to you.
Change one thing at a time
Choose a change in time, frequency, pace or resistance, then give yourself a chance to see how you respond. Note when you trained and how you felt later that day and the next morning. Share changes that concern you with your clinician.
Bring the record that answers the question
For a follow-up, ask whether the clinician needs a written report, images or the instructions from your previous visit. Check the clinic’s delivery message before your appointment so there is time to request anything missing.
Find records sent to Datamed
If the clinic told you it uses Datamed, read our Datamed Review for access options and a checklist for missing files. Ask your clinician to explain what the record means for your training.
