What motivates many patients to show up for therapy? While our smiling faces and great personalities can contribute to a good therapy experience, patients are often motivated to attend therapy because they have pain and they believe the physical or occupational therapist can help alleviate their pain and improve their function. Patient’s often rate their therapy success level on their pain levels. We know pain is often anticipated pre and post-surgery, during cancer treatment, and with chronic pain conditions, but now we can greatly help our patients by incorporating relaxation techniques into our existing treatments and reducing pain in our patients for a more effective treatment intervention.
Physical and occupations therapists, physical therapy assistants, occupational therapy assistants, registered nurses, massage therapists and other medical professionals interested in learning guided imagery and relaxation techniques. Estheticians in medical settings can also incorporate these advanced techniques to enhance their treatments.
This will benefit medical professionals and the patients
