Interview with a Physical Therapist

Interdisciplinary collaboration is SO important in primary care. It’s a tragedy when we’re each rockstars in our own bubble of a profession, but aren’t collaborating or communicating enough to fully understand what each profession actually does. I’m absolutely obsessed with physical therapy, and it’s a HUGE key to success for patients with musculoskeletal complaints in primary care-- but I didn’t really see how it worked on the other side until I was a patient myself. In this week’s video, I’m interviewing Stephanie who’s been a physical therapist for 10 years, and we’re answering questions from the email list about physical therapy. We cover: ✅ What physical therapy is and how they can help patients ✅ Who’s a good candidate (or not) and what patients should go that aren’t being referred ✅ The role of imaging before sending to physical therapy ✅ How to manage cost/time/insurance concerns patients have ✅ What we can do in primary care to counsel patients and prepare them to set them up for success with a physical therapist so they can finally feel better Let me know what questions you have! ----------------------- Don't forget to grab your free Ultimate Resource Guide for the New NP at https://www.realworldnp.com/guide --------------------- More Resources: Join us for the The Lab Interpretation Series Bundle for Nurse Practitioners: https://www.realworldnp.com/labs The Chronic Care Series Bundle for Nurse Practitioners: https://www.realworldnp.com/chronic-c...
