By joint

Recovery for the knee
The most common procedure and the most common question. Meniscus, arthritis, ligament.

Lumbar and SI. A different timeline to a limb, and the one people get most wrong.

Autoimmune considerations
How autoimmune conditions change healing timelines and flare-up risk.

What the tissue needs to build with, and the daily protein number that keeps coming up.
Exercise recommendations
What is safe in each phase, and what to leave until you have earned it.
Common mistakes
The handful of decisions that cost people the most after a good procedure.

Before your next appointment, read page 6
You leave the clinic with a rest period and a date to come back. What almost everyone wants to know is what happens in between — and without that, people either sit still far longer than they need to, or go straight back to the old routine and pay for it.
Page 6 is the green, yellow and red clearance page. What you can do right now, what waits, and what to stop. Fifteen pages, and it costs nothing.
