Healthcare English — Physiotherapy Conversations 2 BE

Patient communication in physiotherapy — explaining exercises, managing expectations, assessing pain, and keeping patients motivated.

Communication in physiotherapy

Physiotherapy depends on patient engagement — a patient who understands their exercises and believes in the rehabilitation process progresses far faster than one who doesn't. This exercise practises the key conversations of physiotherapy practice: explaining what you're doing and why, assessing pain and progress, and motivating patients through the difficult parts of recovery.
