The Biggest Rehab Mistake Made By New Grads

The New Grad Physio Podcast - A podcast by Andy Barker - Thursdays

Categories:

I used to think that strength needed to be the focus of every rehab programme I wrote. I made the mistake of on spending too much time trying to get my patients and athletes stronger… Thinking it would ‘fix’ everything. It helped a lot of patient but, there were always some, that I could just not seem to help... No matter how hard I tried or how much stronger they got! They’d usual be progressing well through their rehab, but then would break down. This was usually when I progressed them to higher level activities like running or allowed them to return to sport. Their symptoms would come back quick, often much faster than they had gone away and often much worse… And I had no idea why! There is much more to rehab than just getting your patient, or athlete, strong. Thankfully I worked out what I had been missing. This meant I was able to stop patients breaking down and it changed my whole philosophy about how I now rehab the patients and athletes I see. Listen to this week’s podcast episode to learn what you might be missing when you write your rehab programmes. Hear about a athlete I struggled with a few years back… And what you need to know (and do) to stop your own patients breaking down when you step up their rehab. Enjoy the show! PS. I'd love to hear what you think of the podcast. Please leave a review or even better, share the podcast with any physio you think it could help! PPS.
