2. Why is patient safety a key concern in clinical practice?
Patient safety is paramount in clinical practice because it directly impacts the well-being and recovery of individuals receiving care. Prioritizing safety protocols and practices minimizes the risk of adverse events, medical errors, and complications. Ultimately, this leads to better health outcomes and a higher quality of care for all patients.

Affirmations recognize real effort or strengths, which builds rapport and self-efficacy.

The Graston Technique aids in recovery by using specialized instruments to detect and break down adhesions and scar tissue that can form after injury or repetitive stress. This process helps to reorganize collagen fibers, promote healing, and restore normal tissue function. By reducing these restrictions, it improves flexibility and reduces pain.
