The Mental Health side of Injury is as important as the physical side with recovery. Most people do not know how long it will take to get over an injury and many times are fearful if things do no self resolve in a couple weeks. Our current Healthcare system does not allow for more than a few minutes for physicians to spend with you on your issues which only allows time for physical assessments, not time to talk about how your going to mentally manage the injury. In today's Podcast we will talk about the Dark side of injury, the mental health side and how a Physical Therapist can be your lifeline to getting through this challenging time. If you or someone you know has experienced emotional or mental health issues from an injury or surgery this podcast is for you, Enjoy.
