Episode 65: Radical Accountability: Why Your Rehab Outcomes Are Your Responsibility

Описание: Have you ever had a patient fall off their rehab plan and thought, "Well, they just didn't do the work"? In this episode, Mike and Michael challenge that mindset. They dive deep into the concept of "Radical Accountability," explaining why a patient's failure to follow through is ultimately the clinician's failure to communicate and set clear expectations.
Mike reflects on his four years of running a solo practice, discussing how his business mindset has evolved from blindly following advice to trusting his gut. The guys also break down the myth of the "6-8 week plan of care" pushed by traditional insurance models, and share a story about a retired golfer who was overcomplicating his routine with "neurological resets" when all he really needed was basic strength and plyometrics to get back on the course.
In This Episode, We Cover:

Business Mindset: Mike shares his journey of learning to filter out business advice that feels "gross" and building a practice that aligns with his ethics.
Radical Accountability: Why you have to look at a patient's lack of consistency as a communication breakdown on your end.
Vetting Clients: Why turning away people who aren't a good fit is crucial for your sanity and their success.
The 6-Week Trap: Why traditional clinics prescribe 6-8 weeks of care (hint: it's what insurance covers, not what your body needs) and why true tendon healing takes 6-12 months.
Overcomplicating Rehab: The story of a golfer doing complex "mobility" work when he really just needed to jump around and build basic strength to walk 18 holes.
