Part 4 - You're Not the Arbiter of Your Patient's "WHY"

Ever have a patient who wasn't in for the 'right reasons?'  (Yes, a Bachelor reference, y'all!).Maybe a patient who cared more about the appearance of their stomach than about the function of their core or pelvic floor with a diastasis?Or someone just wants to get off their medications?  Or to be able to get back to riding a bike?  Or wants to have pain-free anal sex?  Those might not be our reasons, but we have to meet patients where they are.There's a ton of different reasons a patient might finally decide to come to pelvic PT.  We can't put our own value judgments on their 'why.'    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!
