88 - Physical Therapy's Mental Health Challenges w/ Michael Jeanfarve, PT

I want to be able to prescribe some kind of physical therapy for emotional pain. Michael Jeanfarve, physical therapist faculty at Stanford Health Care Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency Program, discusses the mental aspects of his patient care. We discuss his teachings to his patients with chronic pain. We discuss themes we've seen in patients with comorbid physical and emotional illnesses. He also talks about how he often has to educate patients about motivation to continue completing physical therapy exercises.
