I believe it is important to empower patients through understanding their diagnosis and the reason behind each exercise or treatment. In building a strong relationship with both the physician and patient, therapy will facilitate an optimum recovery and return to function. It is essential to keep up on the latest research and trends in the field to do what is best for our patients.
