Amy Atmore on the Mental and Emotional Impact of Long-Term Rehab


Listen Later

As a physical therapist, how does your assessment drive personalized rehab programs?

How do you educate your patients, especially with all of the noise they get from social media?

And last but not least, how do you keep someone locked in, engaged and focused over a rehab that could take 6, 9 or even as long as 12 months to come back from?

Well if any of this sounds interesting to you, you’re going to love today’s show!

Dr. Amy Atmore currently serves as the Director of Rehabilitation for the New Orleans Pelicans. She has worked in both the NFL and NBA sectors and in her 15th year of practice.

And in this show, we’re going to talk about what it really takes to rehab athletes at the highest level!

 

Quotable Quotes:

My foundation is teaching the tools so that patients can take care of themselves

—–

I think having the ability to be patient and listen to the individual, get to know them and figure out what their individualized preferences are is probably the biggest thing I’ve learned over the last five years.

—–

Don’t be afraid to leap out on your own to go for what you want.
