Addressing the Gaps in a Patient's Exercise Program
Manage episode 417263188 series 1532296
This episode zeroes in on a scenario many physical therapists face: patients diligently following their exercise routines but not seeing the expected progress or recovery.
We discuss thorax, foot, and knee drivers as examples and why there can be holes in someone's program even after they've been doing advanced exercises. Being able to identify the patient's impairments is a good start.
We discuss common strength holes along with typical overactivity patterns in these patients. Susan and Erica also discuss a patient who is a high-level athlete with a fear-based movement that is a big hole in her program.
