Finding that patients aren't finishing the homework you give or aren't following through on what they said in your appointment?  Try spending more time coaching them to overcome barriers.

Our job isn't to just dispense advice, ideas and exercises!  We need to make sure our patients can actually follow through and get them done.  As as rehab providers, we often don't realize how difficult the things we're asking our patients to do are FOR THEM.

We talk through examples we've seen in training our staff at PelvicSanity, including things like having patients do a bladder diary, see a mental health therapist, do their home exercise program, or get notes from a test from a physician.   

While all of these seem straightforward to us, that's only because we live this stuff every day!  We don't understand the barriers our patients have.  So we need to ask!

We might spend 30 seconds talking about an exercise and up to 10 minutes working through the challenges the patient would have in doing it themselves.  That's how we get compliance!

Too often we find ourselves rushing through our sessions - we actually need to slow down in order to help our patients overcome these barriers.
