They discuss real-world cases, the role of patient perception, and the difference between training and rehab. Takeaways Strengthening exercises alone often do not resolve pain issues. Understanding the patient's chief concern is crucial for effective treatment. Capacity and tolerance are distinct concepts vital for rehab success. Asking 'what's really going on' can reveal underlying issues beyond physical weakness. Training and rehab are different; collaboration enhances outcomes.
