In this engaging ninth episode of the Care in Motion Podcast, hosts discuss the critical aspects of creating effective home exercise programs (HEPs) for patients and navigating continuing education requirements as physical therapists.
The conversation kicks off with practical insights about designing patient-specific exercise programs. The hosts share their approaches to introducing exercises gradually, emphasizing the importance of starting with just 2-3 fundamental exercises rather than overwhelming patients with extensive routines. They discuss strategies for improving patient compliance, including connecting exercises to meaningful personal goals, using patient-friendly terminology, and ensuring proper demonstration.
Fascinating patient stories highlight the impact of motivation and goal-setting, including a remarkable 97-year-old who excelled in therapy due to her strong desire to return to her senior center activities. The therapists also address the delicate balance of challenging patients appropriately without discouraging them.
The second half of the episode explores continuing education requirements across different states, comparing online versus in-person learning experiences, and sharing resources for tracking and completing CEUs efficiently. The hosts desire more home health-specific educational opportunities and scenario-based training relevant to their practice setting.
Whether you're a physical therapy professional looking to enhance your home exercise programming or a clinician navigating CEU requirements, this episode offers valuable insights and practical strategies for elevating your practice.
