Suppose you go into a patient's room and they refuse PT treatment because they are listening to their favorite radio show, what do you do?

"I think it is very important to try to compromise with patients and meet them where they are as they are healing. I would say that they can leave the program on in the background while we did our exercises. Another approach I would use is to educate the patient on the importance of receiving PT treatment so that they can return to their typical routine faster. As a last resort, I would ask them when they typically listen to their favorite show and try to arrange their next treatment sessions afterward, so they are more inclined to participate."
