6 Tips to Keep on Track With Your Physical Therapy Goals
Many patients suffering from pain will go to the physical therapist to help find relief from their pain. However, over the course of treatment, some of that pain will begin to go away and many lose their motivation to continue. If your treatment isn’t over yet or if you find that during your physical therapy treatment you begin to lose motivation along the way, you may be looking for ways on how to stay motivated during physical therapy.
What is Evidence-Based Physical Therapy?
Physical therapists who use evidence-based practice integrate clinical experience with the use of research evidence in order to make clearly informed decisions to help maximize and optimize patient well being. Recently, a push for the use of evidence based medicine and evidence based practice patterns has permeated most health care disciplines. The use of evidence based practice in physical therapy improves healthcare quality, reduces medical errors, helps balance known benefits and risks, challenges views based on beliefs rather than evidence, and helps to integrate patient preferences into decision making.
