Pleasanton & Livermore Physical Therapy | How Much Pain Is OK During Rehab?

One of the most common questions we hear in physical therapy is:
“Should this hurt?”

In this video, Dr. Rob from Bax Performance and Rehab explains how we use a 0–10 pain scale to guide rehab safely and effectively — without falling into the “no pain, no gain” trap that often delays recovery.

At BPR, we generally keep rehab work at 4/10 pain or less. Some discomfort can be normal, but pushing through increasing pain isn’t how you heal faster. It’s how setbacks happen.

What you’ll learn in this video:

What pain levels are acceptable during physical therapy

Why pain may temporarily spike and then settle during a movement

When it’s OK to keep going vs. when to stop and modify

Why grinding through pain slows progress instead of speeding it up

How smart progression gets you back to what you love, pain-free

Rehab shouldn’t feel like a cakewalk, but it also shouldn’t feel like punishment. The goal is consistent progress, not suffering for the sake of it.

At Bax Performance and Rehab, we provide 1-on-1 physical therapy and sports rehab for athletes and active adults in Pleasanton and Livermore. Our approach is individualized, performance-based, and paced to your body, not an arbitrary timeline.
