Part 1 - You're Not the Arbiter of Your Patient's "When"

Think of a patient who wasn't ready to do something.  To come to PT, to take a medication, to commit to their own health.Just because they've committed to coming to physical therapy does not mean they're ready to do everything you say or make major life changes.In Part 1 of this series, we talk about how you aren't the arbiter of your patient's WHEN.  We don't get to decide when they are ready.  And we have to be ok with that.  We can still give them our honest, direct clinical advice - but we don't get to dictate their decisions.  And the sooner we can accept that, the better care we can give.Pelvic PT EssentialsIf you're interested in learning more about the Pelvic PT Essentials online continuing education course, you can always check it out at www.pelvicptrising.com/essentials.Shout Out and Get in Touch!If you're enjoying the podcast, please take a few seconds to take a screenshot and put it up in your Instagram Stories and tag Nicole (@nicolecozeandpt).  Or send us an email at [email protected] with your thoughts, questions or ideas.  We'd love to hear from you!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.  They believe every pelvic physical therapist should find a position they love and feel confident in treating even the most complex patients.  They started Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to pelvic PTs to raise the level of our profession.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!
