Interrupting Your Patient

Does the thought of interrupting your patient make you feel deeply uncomfortable?As a field we pride ourselves on allowing our patients to tell their full story.  To ensuring they feel heard.  And that's critically important.But....there's a need for us, as providers, to reclaim control of the conversation, finding the balance between deeply understanding patient narratives and being efficient in diagnosis.We discuss the delicate art of interrupting; it's not simply about cutting them off, but doing so tactfully with the confidence of a clinician and the empathy of a caregiver. We explore how the phrase "push pause" can become a powerful tool in our hands during consultations.Hopefully after this 'sode you'll feel more comfortable with interrupting your patient - when necessary - and have some practical tools to do it well.So buckle up, as we navigate through these murky waters, hoping to emerge as better providers and better listeners.Downtraining MasterclassWondering how to break free of your standard 'downtraining' with breathing or reverse Kegels?  Check out the $47 Downtraining Masterclass to learn about the three types of downtraining, new downtraining tools for all your patients and prioritize specific downtraining techniques to help your patients improve faster!  Check it out (www.pelvicptrising.com/downtraining) today!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped nearly 200 pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Mentorship Program (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) and business courses to change the way pelvic health is administered. Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
