It's a question we're inevitably asked.
One we're not trained in how to answer. And one that - most times - I think most pelvic rehab practitioners get wrong. "How long until I get better?"
Pelvic PT Rising: The pelvic health tools to make you a better clinician and/or a more successful business owner. We want every single pelvic health practitioner to be more confident and successful in your practice and career!
Clinical Courses: Game-changing online courses to make you more confident, challenge your thinking and improve patient outcomes
Business Resources: Helping 500+ pelvic health practitioners confidently start, grow and build their dream business!
First we think about what they are really asking. It's more about "are you the right person to help me" or "what is working with you going to look like."
And we often do our patients a disservice when we try and guess. Because the truth is - there's no way to know after just the first visit!
So how do we answer it instead?
Ask them back (flip it and reverse it)
"I'm actually not sure, BUT..."
Map out their plan of care and phases of treatment so they know where they are going
If you can do this well, and with confidence, 99% of patients will be satisfied and understand where they are going with treatment.
Had any challenges with this? Let us know! And feel free to drop a review or rating as well!
As Nicole said in the full episode:
"If we can answer this question really well, it will be a game changer for your relationship moving forward with your patient." - Nicole Cozean
