Love your videos! Do you have phrases or helpful tips for how to document sessions when the client talks for the majority of the time progressing through a certain situation? Also for those sessions where the client is sharing positive information and there’s no direct “problem” that’s being worked on? I know the rule of thumb is one intervention for every 15 minutes but I struggle when it seems like active listening is all I feel I’ve accomplished.

Thank you so very much Maelisa! This sounds too good to be true! Is this truly all the insurance policies are looking for from practitioners?

Hi I have a question
For subjective and objective complaints body part mentioned are spine and right shoulder
However for intervention performed
for hot moist pack and EMS spine is mentioned and
for therapeutic exercise and neuro muscular education just time is provided so will we consider that for right shoulder based on subjective and objective complaints???
