Well another prac over ...and I almost forgot to do my last blog! In looking over the last few weeks I can't believe how much I have learnt in Musculo...although I wouldn't have minded another 4 weeks to consolidate further with our brilliant supervisor dropping pearls of wisdom at our feet!
Anyway, something I wanted to comment on was how attempts at motivating a few of my patients I mentioned previously did actually work... as they all were reviewed last week. It was exciting to see that 3/4 patients had really taken on board what I had told them and had clearly being doing their exercises etc by the progress they had made. This was very encouraging to me and emphasized the point that if you do take the time and energy to clearly explain the anatomy/healing process/strengthening process/advantages from sticking to the rehab programme (a good lecture!) it does make a difference, and patients do improve. Using models etc and the "worst and best case"scenario is very useful! Something I shall definitely take into my clinical practice in the future.
So good luck to all of you in the PCR and it has been a pleasure blogging with all of you!!!
