🔥Hot Take: The "why" is the most important question you should be able to answer about an intervention.
Knowing the "why" lets you:
- Connect the intervention directly to the client's goals
- Build rapport and get buy in
- Create specificity and salience
- Help client's understand the connection between impairments, function and goals
❌If someone can't tell you the "why" behind an intervention that is a major red flag in our book!
And. . . the "why" has to be specific! "To build strength" or "to improve balance" doesn't cut it.
Explaining the "why" behind interventions is something we regularly do with our clients and it often sparks great conversations that dive into their goals and helps us get even more specific with our sessions!
