“Act as an experienced physical therapist creating discharge instructions for a patient. I need a clear, patient-friendly discharge instruction sheet for a 58-year-old patient who completed 8 weeks of outpatient PT for left shoulder rotator cuff tendinopathy (no surgery). The patient has met all functional goals and is being discharged to independent home exercise. Please draft discharge instructions that include: (1) a brief summary of their progress, (2) 3-4 key exercises to continue at home with frequency, (3) activity modifications and return-to-activity guidelines, (4) warning signs that would require them to call their doctor or return to PT, and (5) general advice on maintaining shoulder health long-term. Write in simple, encouraging language at a 6th-grade reading level. Format it so it's easy to read and print as a one-page handout.”
