Have you ever worked with someone who had a clinician or coach that did something that made you scratch your head?

Or worse yet, perform a surgery they didn't need?

These scenarios can be beyond frustrating, but as a professional, you must maintain composure and be respectful.

We all know that this can be hard to do, when someone you care about was done wrong. Are there ways to make these transitions occur smoothly?

Here is the set list:

When should you breathe during exercise?

Are there times in which breath holding is warranted?

What is femoral anteversion?

Is there a way to test for femoral anteversion?

What treatment considerations must one make for femoral anteversion?

In what testing order do I chase variability?

Communicating with people in pain is a tricky situation.

If you say the wrong thing, or act afraid amidst pain, negative consequences will ensue with your client.

So what is a clinician or coach to do when talking with a client? Are there better word choices to make when communicating with someone in pain?

If you have these questions, then check out this week's podcast and post. I provide some suggestions to help communicate with your people in pain, which will help them reach their goals.
