Physical Therapy or Wellness: Where's the Line?
Episode description
Controversy Alert! How do we make the maximum difference for our patients without creating dependency in patients?
One of the biggest issues we see in the field is the tendency to discharge patients too early. Their symptoms may be reduced, or their insurance benefits may run out, but the underlying 'why' hasn't been resolved. Eventually - whether it's a week or a month later - something else will happen and their symptoms will return. And then they either need to come back or they don't....finding someone else to help, having a surgery, or just feeling like they need to live with their symptoms.
We dive into the question of how to create resiliency in patients without making them feel dependent on pelvic PT. We need to see a future for patients they can't yet see for themselves, and help them meet goals they didn't even think they'd be able to reach.
