Pain Flare Response Plan
A pain flare response plan defines what to cut, swap, and recheck when rehab pain spikes—preventing panic rest or reckless push-through.
A pain flare response plan is a written if-then script for symptom spikes: reduce load twenty to fifty percent, swap impact for pools or bikes, add a rest day, and recheck morning pain before advancing. Flares happen with sleep debt, stress, or accidental volume jumps—not only because rehab failed.
Avoid total shutdown unless red-flag symptoms appear.
Common questions
-
Does a flare mean you tore something again?
Often no—irritation from load spikes is common; persistent red-flag pain, locking, or giving-way needs clinician review, not guessing.
