Part 5 - You're Not the Arbiter of your Patient's "Compliance"

Have you ever explained away a patient not getting better because they were 'non-compliant' with their home program?



Part 5 - You're Not the Arbiter of your Patient's "Compliance"
 

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!

 

We've all been there - it's tempting, but I want us to get the negative, judgmental term of 'non-compliant' completely out of our vocabulary.


If your patient isn't doing what you're asking, it's on US to take responsibility and get them better. They may not understand the importance of what you're asking. They may not understand how to do what you're asking. They may feel overwhelmed, or simply not have enough time. Or they may be relying on YOU and your sessions to get better.


I'm not saying we shouldn't impress upon our patients the importance of their home program, but we can't just dismiss them if they aren't doing exactly what we ask. We need to work with them to understand why (there's the 'why' again!) and find a way to help them reach their goals, regardless of how 'compliant' they end up being.


As Nicole said on the full 'sode of the topic...


"If your patient isn't doing what you're asking, it's on us to take responsibility and get them better." - Nicole Cozean
