These are my thoughts based on a question posed by
In the close to 15 years I have been practicing as a PT and Strength Coach this is the approach I find myself using
Much more simplistic in all aspects of evaluation, testing and treatment. LESS IS MORE
Less tissue and specific dx based approach
More focused on encouraging movements and activities the patient or client can do rather than on their limitations
More focused on finding ways to load and challenge patients/clients day 1 especially in the basic movements of squat, lunge, hinge/lift, push, pull and carry
Much less manual and when it is used I try to make sure the proper narrative accompanies it
More focused on the subjective portion of the evaluation, active listening, asking open-ended questions, etc
Less focused on the objective gather some basic info, rule out red flags and get to work
More focused on simple home programs, motivation and habit building around all aspects of their health
Keep the goal the goal (Thanks to Dan John) Everything I put in a program should have a clearly defined reason and connection to patients wants, needs and goals
Don't take your patient's success or lack of success personally. Give them all of the credit for their wins and when they falter pick them back up but don't blame yourself if you truly did your best
TAKE THESE HOW YOU WANT BUT THEY ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS
