Case Scenario

Case 3


As Joe's attending PT, I must serve as a proper role model for him and must hold my stretches for 30-60 seconds as to show Joe a good example. If I show a lazy attitude during rehab then Joe might also get lazy because he sees me, his attending PT showing a bad example. If I see Joe shortening his given time, I must explain to him that being lazy can make his progress slow, thus delaying his healing progress at the clinic and also delaying the time that he can get back to his sport. As a PT I must show Joe that diligence in rehab can make him heal faster and be back in sports quicker.
