So youve constructed the best rehab plan for your patient; an effective, systematic programme to enable a fast and effective return to normal function or sport; but here comes the next challenge – persuading your patient to engage, to ‘buy-in!

 

I know you feel the frustrations of people not achieving their goals because they havent adhered to their programme. Maybe they didnt have the belief, the trust or the motivation.  Maybe they perceived their barriers as insurmountable.

You’ve likely tried endless strategies to persuade them of the benefits, explained the reasons behind your thinking, tried to understand their reluctance, their life, their restrictions, but it doesn’t always work.

The truth is, its all about how they think!

“Hi I’m Serena Simmons, Chartered Psychologist and founder of The Psychology School. I’m delighted to work with Get Back To Sport to create this course especially for therapists.”

Even though you know the importance of understanding your patients’ health beliefs and values, actually achieving this in a short consultation and transferring it to their buy-in to your rehabilitation prescription
is anything but simple.

Here’s what to expect on this course

Rather than being overwhelmed by psychological theory, Serena expertly distills the most pertinent evidence into practical strategies and techniques that you can immediately apply to your practice!

You will cover the key elements of:

  • motivational interviewing & use of language
  • habit formation
  • goal setting
  • nudge theory

 

You will leave with:

  • a range of psychological tools to use with different patients to maximise their engagement and adherence to their exercise and treatment programmes.

 

  • AND the opportunity to come back post-course following your implementation for a live follow-up Q&A and Reflection session with Serena
