FREE CLINICAL REASONING GUIDE FOR OSTEOPATHS
5 Reasons You Doubt Your Osteopathic Clinical Decisions
And what to do instead so you can trust your thinking in clinic.
You've taken the history. You've examined the patient. You've found plenty.
But when the treatment is over, do you ever find yourself thinking:
"Did I make the right call?"
"What actually made the difference?"
"Should I have done something else?"
You can know a lot and still doubt your clinical decisions.
In this free guide, Jamie Archer explores five common habits that can create uncertainty in clinic and gives you something practical to do differently with your very next patient.

Does this sound familiar?
🟡You find several things during your examination and end up treating all of them.
🟡You find yourself being led by the patient's symptoms even when you suspect there's more to understand.
🟡You sometimes decide which techniques you're going to use before you're completely clear about what you're trying to achieve.
🟡You stay working in an area because you're not quite sure whether to continue or move on.
🟡The treatment ends and you're straight onto the next patient without really reviewing what happened.
Â
These aren't necessarily problems with how much you know.
They're habits that can make your clinical decisions less clear.

Why We Created It
Simply seeing more patients doesn’t necessarily make you a better osteopath.
It can sometimes make you a faster version of the osteopath you already are.
Experience matters. But so does continuing to question how we think, what we find and why we make the clinical decisions we do.
That’s why clinical reasoning sits at the heart of the work we do at The LXO.
We created this guide to give you five simple places to start questioning your own reasoning and identifying where greater clarity might make a difference to your practice.
Confidence doesn't come from having all the answers.
Â
It comes from trusting how you think.
