One good quality of physio (附中文) “👂🏻Be empathetic” - 💥With the right clinical training and education, and a logical mindset, it should enable a physical therapist to help one patient to full recovery. Over the course of my practice, I find that it makes a remarkable difference when I establish a connection and show understanding with my patients than merely try to fix their sh*t - 🧠What started me to become a physio has not yet been washed out. No doubt hearing a “thank you” will boost my daily mood and keep me motivated in my rehab work. But being able to show understanding and share the feeling of your patients will take things to a new level. Patients are more willing to comply with exercises and education. It is a win-win situation for both me and my patients. - 🤔That brings it to the model of modern physical therapy treatment. Do you still treat on a biomechanical perspective, or a biopsychosocial perspective? Look across social media we see all kinds of holistic analytic marco-views of the human body. Or are you the type of PTs who just leave your patient on the e-stim for 15 minutes followed with few rounds of manual work to call it a session? - 📌Make your own judgement. Listen to care weighs more than rehab. ————————————————————————- 好的物理治療師需要什麼條件 “👂🏻同理心“ - 💥考上物理治療系，通過四年的醫學實證、臨床實習經驗，以及利用自我的分析能力來治療病人並不是困難的事。不過當治療經驗累積的越來越多時，我發現，更多的再教育訓練跟病人的恢復速度並不成正比，多去聆聽病人的主訴，並給予適當的衛教，才是當好的物理治療師較重要的一面 - 🧠 我常聽到病人說之前去看別的物理治療都只有做簡單的評估跟徙手治療，運動的部分草率了事，沒有詳細去解釋、討論個別的狀況。 當一個好的物理治療師，必須理解病人的狀況，以病人為中心，針對病人的生活習慣、運動課表做調整。當你花更多時間去聆聽、溝通，病人會更願意配合做出生活或運動上的改變，以增加治療的成效 - 🤔那物理治療應該是建基於生物力學模式，還是生物心理社會模式？坊間強調動作分析的專家、呼吸訓練、功能矯正，是否該設立物理治療溝通技巧的課呢？大學的臨床術科考試還是著重在技術層面，還是你認為電療熱敷15分鐘，再做15分鐘徙手治療，病人就會好呢？ - 📌聆聽與展現同理心，大於純粹做物理治療。 Thanks to @thefreshmanphysio for inspiring this post #jamesthephysio signing out
