This is a popular question. Everyone has other priorities in their day and life. Exercise and therapy can sometimes seem an imposition. The patient has to remember that recovery from injury can be much more time consuming than prevention. Each person's degree of injury is different and will experience a different rate of recovery. In most cases, your therapist will have an idea as to your personal rate of healing within two weeks. Other factors that play into healing progression and rate of recovery are patient compliance and dedication. Therapists are healers and teachers. However, if the lessons, which we teach, are not practiced and learned, the rate of healing or re-injury is affected.
