False.

You don't usually need to be completely pain-free for four weeks before resuming activity. Rehabilitation commonly uses a gradual, guided return to activity—avoiding sharp or worsening pain—rather than waiting for a prolonged pain-free period. If pain increases or you're unsure, check with your clinician.
