@nickdpt01: #stitch with @jp_thept Why do physical therapists always prescribe 3 sets of 10? Because 3×10 isn’t magic—and it shouldn’t be the endpoint of exercise prescription. Good physical therapy uses progressive loading, individualized exercise dosage, and graded exposure to continually match the challenge to the patient’s current capacity. Sets, reps, resistance, range of motion, and even the exercise itself should evolve as the patient improves. The goal isn’t to make someone good at 3×10. It’s to build enough strength, confidence, and load tolerance to get them back to the things they actually want to do. #PhysicalTherapy #PTTok #ExercisePrescription #Rehab
