A short segment from a YouTube video by Jeff Langmaid advising chiropractors on a common rehab mistake: overcomplicating exercise prescriptions. He recommends teaching patients one simple exercise they can perform and demonstrate at follow-up, which increases clinician confidence, patient adherence, and the clinician's ability to treat more people effectively.
And the surprise to me was when docs started asking, what do I do after? And I go, do whatever you do. And they're like, well, I don't know what to do afterwards. I go, okay, what about exercises and rehab? And, you know, a lot of chiropractors, there's. There's this fuzzy spot where it's like, man, I really don't know what exercises to give and do I need a program or do I need a. An app they can do? And I'm like, no, just show them one exercise. If they can show it to you when they come back, they probably know it. And lo and behold, my students come back and say, you know what my favorite part of the class was, honestly? Learning rehab, Learning what exercises to do for these conditions so I have something to tell them to do. It's simple and effective who you treat, who walks in your door so you can treat more people and solve more problems more effectively.
