In the Return-to-Work Strategy: • Each step is at least 24 hours. • Move on to the next stage when you can tolerate activities. • It is common and OK for your symptoms to worsen mildly and briefly* as you return to activities. But\, if your symptoms worsen more than this\, take a break and adapt activities.\nSee PDF[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
