Maintenance Cardio During Rehab

Maintenance cardio during rehab uses pain-free modalities—bike, pool, row—to keep fitness while injured areas follow PT loading rules.

Maintenance cardio during rehab preserves aerobic fitness while injured tissues heal—bike, rower, pool jog, or arm erg when lower-body load is off limits. Intensity stays easy: conversational pace, pain-free ranges.

Cardio is not a license to replace PT homework. Match modality to diagnosis.

Common questions

  • Can hard cardio slow tissue healing?

    High-intensity work diverts recovery resources and can irritate some injuries; easy maintenance is the default unless your clinician approves more.
