Date: Saturday, February 21st
Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM CST
Course Type: Live, In-Person
CCUs: 4
Location: Rise Gym – 11703 Spring Cypress Rd, Tomball, TX 77377
Course Description:
Too often, physical therapists prioritize fancy techniques and the latest technology before mastering the foundational skill of communication. When we skip the basics, the result is familiar: patients who don’t fully trust us, drop off the schedule, or walk away confused—leaving us wondering what went wrong.
At Ignite, we believe that no matter your experience level, improving soft skills and communication should be a lifelong pursuit. The foundation of any effective evaluation and plan of care starts with one thing: a strong subjective interview.
In this course, you’ll learn how to refine your line of questioning to better develop a differential diagnosis, identify involved tissues, and build the kind of patient rapport that leads to meaningful outcomes. You’ll also explore how to adapt your communication style to the unique personality sitting in front of you—whether it’s the analyzer, the people-pleaser, or someone else entirely.
What You'll Learn:

Ask the right questions to uncover the full clinical picture—while keeping the patient engaged and heard.Identify Key Tissue Involvement
Use clinical reasoning to anticipate likely structures affected early in your assessment.Adapt Your Communication Style
