This seems to be a theme at the moment.....language and how we communicate are crucial elements of rehabilitation...Yet again a patients anxiety has been some what heightened by their interactions with other healthcare professionals. Patients are sometimes led to believe that the only option is medication and this may not be the case. Positive feedback again from an initial appointment was lovely to hear......the first professional to say something positive and this in itself has helped.... Hope of getting better can be extinguished or built up with how we communicate. On a side note there are many specialist areas of Physiotherapy including Neurology, Musculoskeletal, Respiratory, Womens Health and more. Twice in the last week I have come across patients with vertigo symptoms that have been led to believe medication is the only option......some Physios are trained in this area and can assess and treat this....depending what is causing the symptoms a full recovery can be possible.
