In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, Spine Division faculty member Miller Armstrong wraps up a mini-series focused on clinical success in physical therapy. The discussion begins with the importance of defining what success means for each individual practitioner and the necessity of making a firm decision to pursue success. Dr. Armstrong emphasizes that once this decision is made, there should be no room for doubt; practitioners must commit to the actions required to achieve their goals.

The episode also addresses the challenges therapists face when patients are not improving. Dr. Armstrong highlights the significance of approaching these situations with humility and grace, as acknowledging a patient's lack of progress fosters trust and strengthens the therapeutic alliance. By being honest about patients' conditions, therapists can better support their journey toward recovery. Tune in for valuable insights on cultivating success and navigating difficult conversations in clinical practice.
