Help Transition Injury Clients Into Wellness Clients—For Life
I
njured clients are easy targets for creating
goals, since they have limited function—and
lots of pain. As practitioners, we're motivated
to check in on these clients and update their goals
when doctor referrals or insurance company
reimbursements depend on it. Unfortunately,
retaining these clients is difficult once they're
well. Sure, they may thank us profusely, but they
often don't come back for wellness visits. Setting
some wellness goals near the end of their care
may help transition injury clients into wellness
clients who adhere to a massage program for life.
