Help Your Patients Heal

Presented by Rehab Connections

Description

Many clinicians are faced with the expectation to do more in less time with patients experiencing pain, healing from an injury or surgery, and losing function due to degenerative conditions. Basic science provides guidelines for "normal" healing, however do these apply to the 93.2% of the US adults that are NOT metabolically healthy? Is it possible that extended episodes of care are needed for optimal outcomes in physical therapy and occupational therapy as a result of delayed healing and recovery? Integrating current concepts and studies related to healing with traditional rehab protocols and progressions prepares the PT/OT clinician for more opportunities to demonstrate significant improvement, provide caregiver training, and document skilled intervention.

This new virtual workshop offers a plethora of concepts and strategies for the PT/OT clinician to help their patients facilitate the physiological processes of healing. Learn how to connect the dots for patients so they may be inspired to implement a few simple but targeted strategies to manage their pain experience, minimize edema, improve blood flow, reduce chronic inflammation, decrease risk of infection, and avoid recurrent symptoms to get back to doing what's important to them!
