Presence in Practice: Evidence Informed Tools for Incorporating Mindfulness Into Your Practice
Most of us have seen recommendations that mindfulness should be considered as a treatment intervention for patients, particularly those with chronic pain. But how does mindfulness actually work? Who should do it? How can we incorporate mindfulness into a physical therapy session with a skeptical patient? How can I tell a patient they should meditate if I can't focus long enough to do it myself?!? During this session, we will explore these questions and more. We will experiment a bit, and come up with specific strategies that you can use next week with your patients (and yourself!).
