When developing personalized treatment plans, I first conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the resident’s physical abilities and limitations. I believe in a patient-centered approach, involving the resident and their family in the process to ensure that the treatment aligns with their personal goals and preferences.

I stay updated with the latest advancements in physical therapy by regularly attending workshops and seminars, subscribing to professional journals, and being a member of relevant professional organizations that provide continuing education opportunities.

I find that setting achievable short-term goals and celebrating small victories can be incredibly motivating for patients. Additionally, fostering a positive and engaging environment increases their enthusiasm for therapy sessions.

When dealing with resistant patients, I prioritize building rapport and trust. I listen to their concerns, validate their feelings, and involve them in the goal-setting process to encourage their buy-in and commitment to therapy.
