EXTRA CREDITS: Treating the Person; Not the Body Part
As PTs and PTAs we often interact with individuals who do not understand the importance of and the power behind making healthy lifestyle choices and the ability to implement wellness into their lives. The vision of the American Physical Therapy Association is, “Transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.” Movement can be less than optimal for many reasons, and the human experience can be less than ideal due to various challenges throughout life. The profession of Physical Therapy is well placed to identify the multitude of issues that may be contributing to the overall presentation of a patient, as well as creating a complete plan of care that will carry a person beyond discharge to become independent and well-informed to stay healthier. As the profession evolves, so should our knowledge about how to best meet the needs of people seeking recovery, health, and true wellness. In this course, the topics of motivational interviewing, risk factor identification, evidence-supported education, and the importance of proper tissue loading will be discussed and synthesized into a lifestyle strategy that will discharge your patient to a life of wellness, not just a home program.
