I did as part of my back to work program. Like everything else with MG, the exertion will be up to you. Any physical therapist worth going to is going to look into your health issues and concerns and build a program to help you. If you feel you're being pushed too hard, tell him/her and they will adjust for you. Physical therapists are not personal trainers (although I'm sure some do that too) ... they're not there to push you in the same way.
Best of luck.
