Introduction: Physical therapists play a crucial role as frontline professionals managing orthopedic pathologies resulting from chronic or acute injuries. Despite undergoing extensive education, including six to seven years of professional training and passing national and state examinations, therapists often lack formal training in patient communication. This gap in education is typically addressed only through practical experience. As the field of physical therapy has evolved due to regulatory and insurance reimbursement changes, effective communication during patient evaluations has become increasingly vital. Establishing clear expectations, understanding patient’s emotions and social styles, and building trust through reliability, credibility, and intimacy are essential. Failure to accurately communicate or follow up can lead to recurring symptoms, increased reliance on medications or surgeries, and undue stress and financial hardship for patients. By improving communication skills and understanding different social styles, therapists can enhance patient education, trust, and overall treatment outcomes.
