Three Questions to Transform Your Eval: An Interview with Susan Clinton

Clinical pearls, being happier as a clinician, the role of telehealth and three questions to transform your evaluation - this conversation with Susan Clinton has it all!Early in the 'sode we dive into the question of where you start with a challenging patient.  There's so many different routes we can take and skills we can use, but Susan manages to simplify the start with a different lens.  In fact, one one of the big themes throughout this 'sode is simplifying things for your patient.  They're likely only taking in a fraction of what you're saying.  Susan learned this lesson by simply asking her patients after a session: "what's your take home from today?"  It was wildly different than what she had tried to communicate.We also discuss the the three questions she asks every patient in their initial evaluation.  These establish the direction of care, get buy-in and show the patient you're listening and understand their issues better than any amount of education you could provide.Hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking with Susan!Susan ClintonSusan is a practitioner and educator with programs for both pelvic rehab providers and patients.  She is the co-host of the Tough to Treat podcast and runs a clinical mentorship program.  Make sure you're following her on Instagram (@sclintonpt) and check out all her information at LTIphysio.com!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 (www.pelvicsanity.com) 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 500+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them!  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!
