This is the third instalment of the mini-series covering everything Rob and Dave think everyone should know about back pain and looks at what you should expect from a good consultation. Adam Dobson, specialist physiotherapist discusses the five things you should expect from any good consultation from being listened to through to a comprehensive recap. There is lots of great advice to take away and make great practical use of if you are attending a consultation so this is a must-listen KEY TAKEAWAYS The clinician should invite you to tell you your story- they will want to understand what’s important to you, the impact of your problem and what your current understanding is The clinician should create a space where you can feel listened to You should be asked what your expectations are and through discussion, goals should be established and agreed The patient and the clinician should be on the same page When someone has a belief about something for a long time this has to be recognised The conversation should be sufficiently challenging but not make you feel uncomfortable A lot of information is gained from taking a detailed history The clinician will want to examine the body part with the issue and also undertake a movement examination There may also be specific tests relevant to particular tissues and nerves The clinician should do a recap including the nature of the problem, why it’s hurting and biologizing what’s going on It’s about the collaboration between the knowledge of the patient and the knowledge of the clinician BEST MOMENTS ‘A good clinician should be a good listener’ ‘You should be developing a rapport and be on the same page as your clinician’ ‘A good clinician will explain any findings as they go along’ THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Patrick Carroll blog: oldquaterphysio.ie Adam Twitter: adamdobson123.
