#PT582 #MO tell them exactly what to expect if they continue with prior high activity levels and explain short and long-term pros and cons

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #CC Any kind of sports injury! We can objectively find impairments that put the athlete at risk and address them directly

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #DG Know your pt's! Find out what motivates them and what they enjoy. If you can find a way to make ex more relatable, they'll buy in

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #MD If believing is an issue, have them meet others who exercise regularly. They can get to see the effects for themselves!

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #CW Even though we're not equipped in PT school, we can always be fully present and listen completely and with empathy to their story

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #SS Develop a relationship with Psychologists who are experts in depression and pick their brains as to how we can improve

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #AE Pt's spend so little time with us. If we equip them with knowledge and motivation, plasticity can occur during their time away

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #HC Ensure a positive environment! Encourage pt's to express themselves and be involved as much as they are comfortable with

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #ES Don't be afraid to communicate. Share with them rationale for your Rx and specifically why it would benefit the pt.

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #DR always re-assess results of previous Rx response. Compare effects of current ex dosage to goals set and progress made so far.

@chan_mccr Busting myths and putting things into perspective! #PT582

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

@kamjwallis Great point. Our patients should be actively engaged and they need to understand why we're doing what we are #PT582

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

@BadeSbade92 Or a colleague who needs it anyway! #PT582

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

@rlthompson08 Very interesting, I really like the idea of giving them the visualization of what manipulation is #PT582

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

@JennaRPlummer Yes, we should always have patient comfort in the forefront of our minds before proceeding #PT582

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

@tina_stough Agreed. Utilizing low grades is an excellent way to familiarize them with your hands and the technique #PT582

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #LG The more individualized and pt-centered we can make our treatment, the better the outcomes. Custom E-stim allows this opportunity

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

#PT582 #DH I would explain E-stim in early stages is to get their muscle firing. Now that it is we need to progress to more dynamic activity

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

@darandall1 @chriscampbellpt @NAUPT582 first step is to gain their trust, then slowly ease in by doing exercises they are comfortable with

[Austin Webster @Acw267Austin]

@chriscampbellpt @NAUPT582 #CC Find out how your pt's get motivated... they may be more visual (refer to graphics) or competitive in nature.
