activity modification

Activity modification involves adjusting how you perform certain tasks or activities to reduce strain or pain, promote healing, and prevent further injury. It can include changing the intensity, duration, or method of an activity, or taking frequent breaks. For example, lifting with your legs instead of your back, or using ergonomic tools. The goal is to continue staying active safely while protecting the affected area, helping speed recovery and prevent setbacks. It's a common strategy used by healthcare providers to manage injuries and improve function while minimizing discomfort.
