Can You Fail Physiotherapy?

If you have been told you have failed physiotherapy what does it mean and what can you do about it? Dave and Rob share great content about the many different tools that help with recovery and why everyone needs an individualised approach to support effective recovery. It can take repetition, trial and error to find the right combination and your therapist should be talking to you to understand what the right approach is for you because - can a patient fail manual therapy…absolutely not, can a manual therapist fail a patient …definitely.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s not a condition or diagnosis to say you’ve failed it’s a confusion between professions and treatment Professions use lots of different things to help with recovery. They are your teacher and guide to getting better The physiotherapy techniques that have been used haven’t been utilised effectively It’s not that the patient has failed it’s that the technique hasn’t worked at that time There are a myriad of different approaches and there has to be an individualised approach If a patient is given a label it can become part of their identity It’s a multitude of different things working that stack up to make recovery successful and it can take repetition trial and error to find the right combination. If a clinic is taking a ‘cookie cutter’ approach with the same treatment for every patient it’s a red flag Every therapist should talk with you to understand what the right approach is for you.   BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s quite a shocking statement to read’ ‘As humans, we all need different things to get to the end goal’ ‘Different people with the same treatment will all have different outcomes because what works for one person may not work for another’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ    ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliot Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
