Very helpful physiotherapy podcast !

Pain during exercise

I’d like to hear each guest give their interpretation of how much pain is appropriate to feel during the work load (whether it’s during exercise, or function). We are good at discussing biomechanics and differential diagnoses, but how do we guide our patients w pain interpretation? You can’t discuss dosing parameters without including the pain felt. Thank you.
