Motivating the Unmotivated
It's Andrew's turn to answer the difficult question asked by a listener, "How do you motivate the slow or non-responder unmotivated patient?" Sometimes the answer isn't easy. It is better to be a realist in these cases, and not always think you may be missing something.

Emergency Referral Lessons
Erson is joined by one of the OG PT Influencers, Dr. Zac Cupples. Zac and Erson go way back! Back when people read things called blogs. Zac has two great stories about the assumptions you make when you refer someone. Even with explicit instructions on what to say, a lot of things get missed, miscommunication happens. You need to follow up, especially if they are emergency referrals! We hope you learned something valuable should you have to do the same, chances you will! You can find all of Zac's courses and work on his site.

What Fills Up Your Cup?
At a recent live Modern Manual Therapy Seminar there was an interesting Cervical case and even more interesting Lumbar Case. Both were easily reset after meeting the Clinical Practice Patterns but also had habitual WB postures that potentially sensitized their systems.

Options for Non Responders Part 1
On social media, a listener/follower asked, "How do you motivate a non-motivated non-responder with chronic issues?" This episode, Erson gives his answer which is realistic, but not easy to hear. These types of patients are difficult for the best clinicians. Maybe feeling better, but being stronger and more functional if you change every aspect and bad habit, and maladaptive beliefs is not an easy selling point.
