June 11, 2007

Here is an example of a common challenge we run into as physical therapists. You will have a patient with a sprained ankle. The patient has a soccer match in just a few days. As a therapist, I have two jobs - one to rehab their ankle so they can play and, two, to make them aware that it might not heal in time to play.

My question to you is, how do you know when to allow the patient to start playing again? Do they have to be free of pain? Can they have some pain? Can they go back to playing no matter what? How do you decide?

Think about it, post your thoughts and I'll get back with you in a few days.

Thanks,
Pam
