Ask about a treatment or specialist exercise · S11.2

Ask about exercises that deliberately create body sensations

A proposed practice involves inducing unfamiliar or uncomfortable sensations.

Prepare for professional guidance

Try these steps

1. Write the proposed exercise and any health, movement, or comfort questions you need answered.
2. Ask an appropriately qualified clinician whether it is suitable and what individualized instructions and alternatives apply.
3. Wait for suitable guidance rather than creating the sensations yourself from this worksheet.

An example

I want to ask why this exercise is proposed and whether my health circumstances affect the choice.

Reflect

Were suitability and stopping instructions explained clearly?

Next time

Bring new concerns back to the clinician before changing the plan.
