Call in The Chiropractors - a podcast by Rob Beaven & Dave Elliott
from 2021-01-01T00:00
In this special New Year’s edition of the podcast, Rob and Dave are joined by
Tom white from Salford city chiropractic and Ricky Davis from Summit well-being in London.
They discuss some of the cases in clinic this week sharing great insights into their initial consultation process and how this lays the foundation for collaborative work between the therapist and patient on the journey to recovery.
It’s always about the formulation of a tailored approach that’s right for each patient that supports their physical and mental wellbeing as they make incremental steps towards their final goal.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When someone has pain and stops doing things then the body can get used to not moving
- You can use the examination to help patients to see what they can do.
- Even if you can’t do your chosen activity now you can move towards it.
- It’s all about the small wins and incremental progress towards your final goal.
- The definition of health and well-being is the physical, mental and social wellbeing of an individual.
- Even when you are in pain it’s about finding what movement you can do in the right way whilst the pain and injury heals to get you back to where you want to be.
- The goal of a therapist is to find things you can do that will develop strength and resilience
- People are good at self-healing but a therapist can offer expert advice and expertise.
- The first consultation session is about education, discussing what’s going on and that pain isn’t something to be feared.
- If you are having a consultation ask as many questions as you need.
- Know and understand exactly what the plan is
- It’s about a tailored approach that’s right for each patient.
- It’s a collaborative approach between the therapist and the patient.
