The patient who comes to therapy but skips the home exercises

Il paziente che viene in palestra ma non fa gli esercizi a casa · Healthcare · Beginner

The case

You are a physiotherapist. A 58-year-old patient, post shoulder surgery, has attended his three weekly sessions punctually for two months: cooperative in the gym, likeable, but recovery is half of what is expected, and the reason is obvious: the home exercises, which are 70% of the work, he does not do. Every time he candidly admits it (with work I cannot manage, they hurt, I forget), promises, and does not do them. The surgeon, at follow-up, questioned the slow progress with you. The reimbursed sessions are about to run out. How do you unlock adherence?

Sei un fisioterapista. Un paziente di 58 anni, operato di spalla, viene puntuale alle tre sedute settimanali da due mesi: collaborativo in palestra, simpatico, ma il recupero è metà di quello atteso, e il motivo è evidente: gli esercizi a casa, che sono il 70% del lavoro, non li fa. Ogni volta ammette candidamente (con il lavoro non riesco, mi fanno male, mi dimentico), promette, e non li fa. Il chirurgo, al controllo, ha chiesto conto dei progressi lenti a te. Le sedute rimborsate stanno per finire. Come sblocchi l'aderenza?
