What I do as a PT - Coggle Diagram

- - - - When an injury occurs, there's tons of possible MOI's. Some include overuse and degradation on a maladapted system that can't tolerate the applied loads. Why couldn't it handle the loads?
        
        Our bodies handle a variety of forces. A joint's full ROM supported by the active and passive structures allow for force attenuation (the joint's envelope of function). Overuse, Sedentary lifestyle, syndromes, diseases, poor nutrition, medications, and more can lead to atrophy of these structures directly like muscles, connective tissues, ligaments as well as indirectly through poor blood supply, poor nutritional support. Overtime, load intolerance increases leading to an event, an injury, pain. It increases to a point which shifts into our lens of focus.

        Time: Most injuries will get better with time anyways
        
        Being someone to talk to and calm down
        
        Downregulating the nervous system
        
        Loading the tissue, why does this help
        
        Small doses of Mechanical Stresses to tissue less than 3 or 4/10 pain create a stimulus of adaptation to these loads. Walks the line of degradation and rebuilding. Has desensitization effect. Joints want to move. Tissues want to do what they're meant to do. Muscles want to contract. Bones, ligaments, tendons, they WANT and NEED to be loaded. If this is halted, they won't be happy for long. They atrophy and wither.

        If we can calm down our patients' worries, obtain their buy in, get them INVOLVED with the plan of car and SET GOALS. Then, what we do after this becomes less important. We set the intention, we set the goal and we get them seeing the version of themselves. Then we MUST get them to see some form of progress. If a patient THINKS they're getting better, they're getting better. How do I do this? How do I get a patient to think they're doing better?
