INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED DURING THERAPY
1. During therapy sessions, the most important aspect is REST.
You must avoid physical strain and exertion as therapy helps your body heal. Rest is essential for your body to sustain the improvements of therapy.
2. Don’t overstrain.
Avoid sudden, jerky, unaccustomed, or prolonged physical activities (like bending, lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying loads). Activities that can aggravate your musculoskeletal health problem must be avoided.
3. Be patient.
Therapy is like brushing teeth and shampooing hair; it has to be done regularly. Therapy brings gradual changes, not instant results.
4. Do not expect your doctor or therapist to do magic.
Only with your consistent cooperation, following therapy sessions, home exercise programs, and lifestyle changes, will your condition improve.
5. Diet is very important.
Eat healthy, balanced meals containing vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, nuts, and seeds. Avoid junk food. Drink water adequately.
6. Do not lift weights, run, jump, or do any sudden movements during therapy, unless specifically instructed.
7. Avoid lifting heavy objects and handbags.
Carrying weights on your shoulders, in one hand, or on the back can worsen the condition.
8. First few days of therapy may cause slight increase of pain, pressure, or soreness.
This is very normal and will subside in subsequent days of therapy.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED DURING REHABILITATION
1. Don’t avoid or delay exercises prescribed.
Engage yourself in daily activities during rehabilitation. You will observe that simple movements become complex as they need proper muscle control, stability, and coordination. The complexity improves at a later stage as rehabilitation progresses into functional training.
2. Discontinuing yourself from therapy / rehabilitation can lead to aggravation or relapse of symptoms.
Regular exercise can help maintain your musculoskeletal health and good health in general.
3. Identify limitations.
Do not exceed your own exercise tolerance. Breathing rate is a good indicator. Don’t exercise to the extent of breathlessness.
4. Appropriate and recommended exercises code to be followed could avoid accidents during exercise.
5. Appropriate warm-up and cool-down after workout is necessary.
6. Adequate hydration is important. Only sip water while you are exercising. Drink water from your bottle in between exercises, but not more than 1–2 sips.
7. Make sure your fluid intake is balanced. Consult your nutritionist to take nutrition guidance that fits your conditions.
Active and healthy lifestyle with right nutrition, right exercise, and emotional health are essential
for a pain-free and independent life.

Hello,
Age doesn't matter when you are planning to start your exercise routine,but your BMI,muscle strength and endurance does matter and can plan out your exercises accordingly. You can take up strength training such as body weight activitivites, resistive exercises,weight lifting or can even use Thera bands to tone up your muscles, cardio must be focused such as jogging ,cycling, swimming ,etc and then flexibility exercises but make sure to spend few min on basic stretches in warm up and cool down period.
Coming to sports,you can take up any sport and engage in it as per your liking but I suggest you to consult a physiotherapist for a detail physical assessment and train you up for your desired sport.

No, age 27 is not too late to start fitness activities at the gym! It’s a great time to begin, as your body can still adapt and build strength effectively. Age is no bar for exercises.
Next Steps
Consult a Physiotherapist for the assessment of your posture.
Stop if you feel pain beyond normal muscle soreness.

Progress at your own pace and consider physiotherapy assessment to avoid injury.
