What should you do after being cleared from physical therapy?

After clearance, the safest next step is not a random workout. It is a training-readiness conversation: what you were cleared to do, what still feels uncertain, what restrictions remain, and what strength or movement qualities need to be rebuilt first.

Physical therapy and personal training are different roles. A licensed provider handles diagnosis, treatment, and clinical rehabilitation. A personal trainer can help a cleared client rebuild capacity with careful strength, mobility, conditioning, and education.

Bring your clearance instructions, current restrictions, and questions to the first consult. The better the boundary is understood, the more useful training can be.
