Graded Exposure Rehab Training
Graded exposure rehab training reintroduces feared movements in small steps—reducing pain sensitivity and fear while rebuilding real-world capacity.
Graded exposure rehab training systematically reintroduces feared movements—cuts, landings, overhead reach—in small steps while monitoring pain and confidence. It treats sensitivity and fear, not only weakness.
Each step repeats until symptoms and anxiety settle before advancing. Used with PT for chronic tendons and post-surgery kinesiophobia.
Common questions
-
Is graded exposure the same as pushing through pain?
No—exposure uses planned, sub-max steps with symptom monitoring; pushing through sharp pain without a hierarchy usually reinforces fear and flare cycles.
