Kindness, engagement in the recognition of a patient's individual life situation, as well as his/her personality traits, allow the physiotherapist the ‘maximisation’ of their techniques of providing assistance to a patient.Communicating bad news can be mishandled with potentially distressing results for clinicians and especially patients.
It can be overwhelming for newly qualified or student physiotherapists as they must deal with such a broad range of conditions as well as differences in patient personalities, beliefs and motivation.
