What do we do when a patient just isn't getting better?  When they feel frustrated?  Or when we don't understand why they aren't making more progress?

These plateaus can be a major challenge in our clinical practice.  They make us feel insecure, defensive, or like we're just guessing.  

In this 'sode we go through how to examine a plateau and how to respond (not react!) for the best patient outcomes.  

Three tips for dealing with plateaus: 

1. Plateaus aren't necessarily bad!  They can be expected and also give us more time to implement long-term strategies to benefit the patient's overall health.
2. Don't knee-jerk into a change.  If you are going to change strategy, make sure you've given your original plan a chance to work!
3. Pre-frame with your patient.  Progress isn't linear in anything to do with our health, but we need to let the patient know what to expect.
