Dooley Noted: 4/2/2014
I spent my first two hours this morning analyzing the videos of four diligent patients who want results.
As their healthcare provider, there is no better way to spend my time.
If I’m only seeing you for an hour in the office, I’m only seeing you for less than 1/2 of a percent of your week.
You might be looking great in the hour I get!
What happens when you get home matters even more.
I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. I certainly don’t want anyone wasting mine.
To see people come back on repeat with the same issues means one of two things:
1. They are coming undone when they leave.
2. They haven’t been watched enough and may not be given proper drills or even proper help.
Since I know one hour won’t give me the big picture, I ask for home rehab videos.
They are a cinch to do!
Set up that smartphone in the corner.
It helps the client or patient start to learn to analyze the movement, along with the practitioner’s feedback.
It’s no accident that the people who provide me videos are the ones who, on average, get better pretty fast.
As always, it’s your call.
