The Key Skill They Did Not Teach You At Uni

from The New Grad Physio Podcast · host Andy Barker

‘Why didn’t they teach us this at Uni?’ This was a question I got asked by a therapist on a course I was teaching on just last week. He was talking about how University had missed the bit about how to properly design and implement a rehab plan for a patient. University teaching typically teaches you a very basic way to assess, treat and rehab your patients... In the textbook way. But if you have ever seen a patient in real life, you will know that these textbook patients do not actually exist! You were taught that if your patient had [x] issue... You would do treatment technique [y]… Or rehab exercise [z], then their problem would go away. It would be nice if it was that simple, but clearly it is not. Every single patient you see is different. They have a different story, different goals, previous injuries and non-msk issues that can affect their rehab. Even if patients seem similar in how they present, they will never be the same... And as such require an individual treatment and rehab plan to fix them up. Learn how to do this in this week's podcast episode. Enjoy the show! PS. Andy would love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Please leave a review or get in touch at [email protected] and he will get right back to you. PPS.
