Self-Care and Burnout in Pelvic Health Physiotherapy with Shelly Prosko
2 hours
The instructors
Overview
We will wrap up this year of mentoring with a close look at self-care, both for ourselves and our patients. Is self-care selfish, or is it a key component of building resilience? How do we move forward from this year of mentoring into sustainable practices that maintain our physical and mental well-being? These are similar discussions that we should be having with our patients on discharge.
Presenter: Shelly Prosko
