Questions you might bring to your doctor
You know your own life best. If it helps, here are a few gentle questions some people like to bring to an appointment:
- What small, realistic first step would you suggest I start with?
- How can I fit rest and recovery into a busy week?
- What small, everyday habits do you think could support my comfort day to day?
- Are there gentle kinds of movement you would suggest I explore?
The aim is comfort, not perfection. Take what helps, leave what does not, and go at your own pace.
