Plus, I\u2019d rather be realistic from the get-go rather than have a patient drop off after 2 visits and say \u201coh Eric\u2019s a bad physio since he didn\u2019t cure me.\u201d A few years back I realized that it\u2019s a bit of a double-standard for us to blame doctors or surgeons who aren\u2019t realistic with patients, yet not expect ourselves to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way I go about goal setting occurs through two steps. During my subjective, I ask what goals a patient would like to work on in a more general sense (i.e. improved strength or flexibility, being able to return to a specific activity or do more of a goal activity) and then after my physical examination is done the goals are more refined.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 \u2013 Not Setting Realistic Expectations From The Get-Go Telling patients that they may not be pain free or make a full recovery is easier said than done.
