If an exercise causes sharp or increasing pain: stop.
Some muscle fatigue and mild discomfort during rehabilitation is normal — that's tissue adapting. The following are not normal:
- sharp or stabbing pain during the movement,
- pain that gets worse with each repetition,
- swelling after exercising,
- pain that lingers for hours afterwards.
What to do
- Stop the exercise that hurts. You can usually continue the rest of the session unless your therapist said otherwise.
- Message your therapist — open the Messages tab and describe which exercise, where it hurts and when (during the movement, after, next morning). They prescribed your program and can adapt it quickly.
- For severe or alarming symptoms, contact your doctor or emergency services.
Move8 support can help with technical problems (logging in, videos, billing), but we cannot give medical advice — your therapist knows your case.
