Rehab outcomes aren’t just about diagnoses, protocols, or exercises.�They’re shaped by social determinants of health — the conditions in which people live, work, and recover.
Social determinants of health fall into five broad areas:�• Health care access and quality�• Economic stability�• Neighborhood and built environment�• Education access and health literacy�• Social and community context
These factors influence whether a rehab plan is realistic, sustainable, and effective — long after a patient leaves the clinic.
Regardless of your specialty or practice setting, rehab professionals play a critical role in recognizing these barriers, asking better questions, and adapting care so it actually works for the patient in front of us.
That’s why all of my pelvic health and oncology continuing education courses intentionally integrate social determinants of health — not as a side note, but as part of clinical decision-making.
Bonus: all courses are pre-approved for PT/PTA CEUs in over 40 states, are top-rated by participants over the last 3 years, and you have lifetime access.
