I think its historical. So historically, "nerve" diseases were things like Parkinson's disease (early 1800s), and hemiplegia from strokes. So...
That makes it sound like you were doing something inappropriate. Of course you weren't, its extremely difficult to get that balance exactly right....
The PACE CBT also incorporates "practical exercises" which involve gradually increasing activity levels.
