German term or phrase: belastungssteigernden
Prescribing physical therapy, I'm wondering if anyone has a good phrase in English for this "belastungssteigernden"? "Increaseing weight-bearing" - "stress-increasing"?

"Diesbezüglich empfehlen wir eine weitgehend körperliche Schonung für mindestens 4 Wochen postoperativ um dann erst mit ***belastungssteigernden*** Therapien zu beginnen."

Thanks!

Your surgeon may give you a brace or corset to wear for comfort. He or she will likely encourage you to begin walking as soon as possible. Most patients do not need physical therapy except to learn how to strengthen their backs.

Progressive strengthening exercises are used in rehabilitation to increase muscle strength, tone, size, and function. Progressive strengthening is also referred to as “progressive resistance,” “exercise progression,” and the “overload principle.” Injury, disease, and neurological disorders, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, can weaken muscles. Bed rest and inactivity can cause muscle wasting. Progressive strengthening exercises build up muscles by gradually increasing the amount of weight or resistance you use while exercising.
