Self Advocacy Pro Tips
I'm thankful I have the training, education and skills to know what to do and who to ask for what I need if I or my family gets injured/struggling with pain.
So today
If you decided to get answers to your physical pain
I wanted to provide you a few questions you can ask the medical professional you are seeing
To make sure you know exactly what you still CAN do while you heal!
If a medical provider asks you to Rest WITHOUT a Clear Movement Plan make sure YOU ask Questions!
What specific tissues need to rest and heal?
What CAN I do with this injury?
Who CAN I ask when I have questions if my movement is safe?
Side note:
Physical Therapy in the State of Maryland is Unrestricted Direct Access.
Meaning Maryland allows you to receive PT service without an order from a medical doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) or other providers that can prescribe medication. You are free to choose!
If you'd like more information if Physical Therapy is the place you would like to explore,
I invite you to CONTACT ME and lets get the conversation going on your road to wellness!
