Is it appropriate to refer a client to another therapist?
For context I'm not even 5 feet tall and im pregnant. When I'm not pregnant, I'm a powerhouse and have no problem working on the big dudes. But my pregnancies are historically not easy and worsen my connective tissue disorder.
I have a weekly client that has all the issues and figuring out a plan of action for him has been challenging due to him not being able to lay on the table normally and also being a little too tall for it. What I really truly think he needs, I am not certified in but my colleague/employer/whatever she is, is certified in and is passionate about it. She has a few more years experience on me and i only started last October. I really feel im not experienced enough yet nor in the right physical condition to help this wonderful human safely.
Would it be appropriate for me to schedule him with her? I really want him to get the care he needs and I feel so bad I can't give it to him right now. Obviously, I'll ask her first. But I'm preparing for her to be like "oh, I'll just come in and assist you! I'll train in you in myoskeletal alignment, etc etc" 🙄 1. Physically, I just cannot. 2. I don't feel comfortable using a technique I was not professionally trained in.
